Adani Power remains committed to securing India’s energy future in a sustainable way by expanding capacity and embracing advanced technologies.
“The Anuppur plant will play a pivotal role in ensuring reliable, affordable, and competitively priced power for households and businesses, strengthening India’s and Madhya Pradesh’s energy security and fueling continued progress in the state,” said S B Khyalia, Chief Executive Officer, Adani Power.
