Commitment to Sustainability

JIPL is dedicated to creating a high-performance, employee-centric work environment. The company is also committed to sustainable business practices, striving to minimize environmental impact and protect local biodiversity. In line with this mission, JIPL has implemented cutting-edge technologies to achieve “Zero Discharge” operations, ensuring that no effluents or spent resources are released into the environment.

Plant Access and Connectivity

The power plant is located 4 km from National Highway 53, in Derang Village. The nearest airport is in Bhubaneswar, approximately 180 km away, while Talcher Road Railway Station is 45 km from the site. Paradip Port, the closest seaport, is 230 km away and is accessible by road.

Since its commissioning in 2015, JIPL has consistently generated reliable power, with an increasing Plant Load Factor (PLF) year after year.

Key Features and Highlights of JIPL

• 1. Lowest Auxiliary Power Consumption in its category


• 2. Superior Station Heat Rate compared to similar-sized units


• 3. Low variable operating costs


• 4. Zero Discharge operational model


• 5. Opportunities for employee growth and development


• 6. Firm power tie-ups of up to 80% and above

Coal Supply and Management

JIPL’s annual coal requirement is approximately 7 million metric tons (MT), primarily sourced from Mahanadi Coalfield Ltd. (MCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd. The nearby Kaniha Mine supplies over 50% of the coal, minimizing transportation challenges. JIPL has a firm Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) with MCL and also procures coal under various provisions of the SHAKTI scheme. Coal is transported to the plant via road, using trucks.

Water Supply

Water for the plant is sourced from the Samal Barrage and is pumped to a raw water reservoir on-site, which has the capacity to store enough water to meet the plant’s needs for seven days.

Power Plant Technology and Key Partners

JIPL places a strong emphasis on quality, sourcing equipment from reputable suppliers and integrating state-of-the-art technologies into its operations. Some of its key partners and equipment suppliers include:

• BTG Package: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)


• Cooling Towers: M/s Paharpur Cooling Towers


• Ash Handling System: M/s Macawber Beekay


• Coal Handling System: M/s Tecpro


• CW System: M/s Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL)


• Water Treatment System: M/s Ion Exchange


• Switchyard: M/s Siemens


• Transmission Line: M/s Gammon India


• Major Civil Works: M/s Shapoorji & Pallonji

Power Evacuation

The generated power is evacuated via a dedicated 400 KV double-circuit transmission line stretching 77 km. JIPL has entered into various Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with state DISCOMs and other consumers across Bihar, Haryana, Delhi, Noida, and more. These agreements cover short-term, medium-term, and long-term power supply arrangements.

Recent Developments

In compliance with Rule-9(g) of The Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness, and Response Rules) 1996, JIPL recently conducted a full-scale mock drill at its chlorination plant on September 6, 2024. This exercise, held in the presence of District Crisis Group (DCG) members, included representatives from neighboring power stations, emergency services, and MCL.
The mock drill is part of JIPL’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and responsive operational environment.
