In this video, I’ve discussed:

  • Why VIDARBHA INDUSTRIES POWER LIMITED went into insolvency
  • How Adani Power is expanding through strategic acquisitions
  • What this deal means for India’s energy and infrastructure future
  • Why Nagpur is emerging as a thermal power hotspot
  • A look at how per megawatt (MW) valuations have shifted—from earlier benchmarks of ₹2–4 crore/MW to now ~₹6.67 crore/MW in this case
  • A quick recap of major IBC-driven power plant acquisitions in the last two years

 

From ₹6,753 crore in liabilities to a ₹4,000 crore resolution—this deal values the 600 MW plant at ₹6.67 crore per MW, signaling a rising premium for well-located, operational assets with long-term PPAs, even in distress.

As India moves toward its 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030, we’ll likely see more such strategic turnarounds—with IBC playing a key enabling role.
