The Adani Group has announced plans to build a massive 2,400 megawatt (MW) power plant in Bihar, with a total investment of around $3 billion (₹25,000 crore). The project is set to become one of the largest private sector energy initiatives in the state and is expected to significantly boost electricity generation capacity.
According to officials, the plant will be developed in phases and is designed to strengthen Bihar’s power infrastructure, which has long struggled to meet rising demand. The move aligns with both state and central government priorities of expanding industrial growth in eastern India while ensuring reliable energy access for households and businesses.
The Adani Group stated that the 2,400 MW power project will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs during the construction phase and provide long-term employment once operational. Local industries, logistics, and ancillary sectors are also expected to benefit.
In addition to meeting Bihar’s own energy requirements, the new facility is expected to contribute power to the national grid, helping reduce electricity shortages in other states. The plant will use advanced technology for efficiency and environmental compliance, though environmental clearances and land acquisition are still in progress.
Bihar’s Chief Minister welcomed the announcement, calling it a major milestone for the state’s development. He said the project would not only help bridge the electricity gap but also attract fresh investments and industries to Bihar.
The Adani Group already has a strong footprint in India’s energy sector through coal, renewable, and transmission projects. This new venture reinforces its role as a key player in India’s power growth story.
Once completed, the Bihar project will stand among the largest power plants in eastern India, symbolizing a big leap forward for the state’s infrastructure and industrial future.
