Strategic Partnership for Power Supply
Adani Power, a flagship of the Adani Group, has secured a 25-year Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with Bihar State Power Generation Company Ltd (BSPGCL). Signed in August 2025, the agreement followed a competitive bidding process where Adani Power clinched the deal with the lowest tariff of INR 6.075 per kWh. The power plant, located in Pirpainti, Bhagalpur district, will supply electricity to North Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd (NBPDCL) and South Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd (SBPDCL), ensuring reliable energy for millions.
A Game-Changing Project
The 2,400 MW facility, comprising three 800 MW units, will be developed under the Design, Build, Finance, Own, and Operate (DBFOO) model. With an investment of approximately INR 26,482 crore, the project is expected to be operational within 60 months. The coal linkage for the plant aligns with the Government of India’s SHAKTI Policy, ensuring efficient fuel supply and adherence to national energy guidelines.
Economic and Employment Impact
The project is poised to create significant economic ripple effects in Bihar. During the construction phase, it will generate 10,000–12,000 direct and indirect jobs, boosting local livelihoods. Once operational, the plant will sustain around 3,000 jobs, contributing to long-term economic stability in the region.
Adani’s Broader Energy Vision
Adani Power, India’s leading private thermal power producer, currently boasts an installed capacity of 18,110 MW. The conglomerate is aggressively expanding its footprint to meet India’s soaring energy demands. By FY32, Adani Power aims to invest $22 billion to scale its capacity to 41.9 GW from 17.6 GW in FY25. This includes thermal power plants across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Tamil Nadu, complemented by a 40 MW solar unit in Gujarat.
Strengthening India’s Energy Infrastructure
Adani Energy Solutions (AESL), another arm of the group, is investing over $17 billion to expand its transmission network to 30,000 km by FY30, up from 19,200 km in March 2025. These efforts align with India’s rapidly growing power market, projected to double its installed capacity to 1,000 GW by FY32 from 475 GW in FY25. With 172 GW of renewable capacity in FY25, India ranks fourth globally, driven by demand from data centers, electric vehicles, urbanization, and industrialization.
Opportunities in India’s Power Sector
The Adani Group’s investment reflects the immense potential in India’s energy sector, with over $500 billion in opportunities projected by FY32. The Pirpainti power plant not only strengthens Bihar’s energy security but also positions Adani Power as a key player in India’s journey toward becoming a global energy powerhouse.
Conclusion
Adani Group’s $3 billion investment in Bihar underscores its commitment to powering India’s growth with sustainable, reliable energy. By fostering economic development and job creation, this project sets a benchmark for transformative infrastructure initiatives.
