Overview of Power Plant Operations
JPVL operates three major power plants with a total capacity of 2,220 MW. Each plant plays a crucial role in the company’s energy production capabilities:
Vishnuprayag Hydro-Electric Plant
Located in Uttarakhand, this 400 MW plant has been operational since October 2006. It leverages hydroelectric power to contribute significantly to JPVL’s overall energy output.
Jaypee Bina Thermal Power Plant
Situated in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, this plant has a capacity of 500 MW, split across two 250 MW units. The first unit commenced operations in August 2012, followed by the second in April 2013.
Jaypee Nigrie Supercritical Thermal Power Plant
Located in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, this plant boasts a capacity of 1,320 MW, with two 660 MW units. The first unit began operations in September 2014, and the second in February 2015.
Cement Grinding and Coal Mining Operations
JPVL’s operations extend beyond power generation to include cement grinding and coal mining:
Cement Grinding
The Jaypee Nigrie Cement Grinding plant has a capacity of 2.0 MTPA. However, it ceased production in FY22 as part of a debt reduction plan.
A non-binding agreement for its divestment was signed in December 2022, valuing the plant at Rs. 250 crores.
Captive Coal Mine
JPVL operates the Amelia (North) coal mine in Madhya Pradesh. The mine, secured through reverse bidding, has an annual drawing capacity of 2.8 MTPA, catering to the fuel needs of the Nigrie Thermal Power Plant. Any additional fuel requirements are met through e-auctions.
Power Purchase Agreement
JPVL has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Ltd (MPPMCL).
Under this agreement, JPVL supplies 65% of its installed capacity at a tariff set by the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MPERC).
An additional 5% of the actual generation is supplied at a variable cost, resulting in 70% of the plant’s capacity being sold to MPPMCL. The remaining capacity is sold as merchant power.
Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB)
In FY10, JPVL issued FCCBs worth USD 200 million. In 2019, with lender consent, these bonds were mandatorily converted into equity shares at Rs. 12 per share. This move waived off all outstanding interest due, improving the company’s financial health.
