2*500 MW Thermal Power (BOO Basis): Nigrie Thermal Project

The 1000 MW Nigrie Thermal project in the Sidhi district in the state of Madhya Pradesh is expected to consist of two units of 500 MW each. We intend to utilize supercritical technology in each of the units. The project is expected to commence operations by 2012.

The Nigrie Thermal project is expected to utilize coal from two coal blocks, the Amelia (North) coal block and the Dongri Tal II coal block. With respect to Amelia (North) coal block , JAL and MPSMCL have entered into a joint venture agreement dated January 27,2006 pursuant to which Madhya Pradesh Jaypee Minerals Limited (MPJML), the joint venture company , is expected to mine and produce coal for our Nigrie Thermal project. MPSMCL has issued a letter of intent to JAL dated June 11, 2007 for developing the Dongri Tal II coal block through a similar joint venture agreement.

The main features of the Project are:

Super critical boiler technology will achieve an unprecedented net efficiency level for brown coal power stations. This technology’s higher steam temperatures and pressure parameters offer the most economical way to improve plant efficiency and operating flexibility – as well as achieve fuel cost savings and lower emissions for each KWH of electricity
Improved thermal efficiency
Lower emissions levels
Lower operating costs
Greater operating flexibility
Reduced fuel consumption
Reduced fuel cost
Reduced ash generation
Reduction of Carbon dioxide emission due to less consumption of fuel
Very good part load efficiency as compared to sub-critical unit.
Reduced NOx, Sox and SPM emission
