Adani Power has secured a contract through competitive bidding to supply 1500 MW of thermal power to Uttar Pradesh. The power will be generated from a newly planned 2x800 MW ultra-supercritical power plant developed under the Design, Build, Finance, Own, and Operate (DBFOO) model. This project has been officially approved by the Uttar Pradesh cabinet. In addition to meeting the state's growing energy demands, the initiative is expected to provide a significant employment boost, with over 9,000 jobs created during the construction phase and approximately 2,000 jobs during its operational stage.
