Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani reviewed two major power projects worth ₹43,000 crore in Jharkhand and Bihar. The projects include a 1,600 MW ultra-supercritical thermal plant in Godda, Jharkhand, and a planned 2,400 MW facility in Pirpainti, Bihar. These initiatives aim to boost regional development, cross-border energy supply, and job creation.
On February 22, 2026, Gautam Adani visited Godda, Jharkhand, to inspect the 1,600 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power plant, developed at an investment of over ₹16,000 crore.

The plant supplies electricity exclusively to Bangladesh under a long-term agreement, strengthening India’s cross-border energy cooperation.
Adani also reviewed plans for a 2,400 MW ultra-supercritical power project at Pirpainti near Bhagalpur, Bihar, which will further expand the group’s footprint in eastern India.
