Assam Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for Adani Power's major thermal generation facility at Chapar, marking a significant milestone in the state's energy infrastructure development. The ₹48,000 crore project represents one of the region's largest power generation investments and signals continued industrial expansion in the Northeast.
The ultra-supercritical thermal power plant will have a total capacity of 3,200 MW, designed to meet growing electricity demand across the region. The facility is expected to employ advanced technology to enhance efficiency and operational performance upon completion.
According to project timelines, the plant will begin commissioning from December 2030, with operations ramping up in phases thereafter. The project is anticipated to create approximately 5,000 employment opportunities during its operational phase, contributing to local economic growth and workforce development.
The power project aligns with India's broader energy security objectives while strengthening Assam's position as a key energy hub in South Asia. The development is expected to improve power supply stability across the Northeast region and support industrial growth in the state.
