Power Plant
(Phase-I 1200 MW & Phase-II 2400 MW)
Project Website: http://www.ilfsindia.com/projects1.a...=7&subLink=117

IL&FS is developing a 3600 MW (2x600MW in Phase I) imported coal based Thermal

Power Project in Tamil Nadu. The Phase I of the project (1200MW) would be utilizing
sub-critical technology while Phase II (2400MW) would utilize supercritical boiler
technology and would source coal from Indonesia/Australia/SA etc. The project would
consist of a dedicated port/jetty with enabling infrastructure for import of 15-25 million
tones of coal per annum along with other plants and machinery

IL&FS has acquired a mine in Indonesia, which will cater to the coal requirement for
this project. All major clearances including environment clearance from MoEF has been
obtained for this project. The debt financial closure for Phase I has been achieved in
December 2009 with a consortium of 19 banks. The power generated would be sold
under both long term Power Purchase Agreement and as merchant power. IEDCL has
been appointed Project Development Advisor for the project

Soros’ design included development for a port facility at Thirukkuvalai coast, south of
Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu India. The development of the port involved construction
of breakwaters, construction of wharves / berths, and dredging the berthing areas,
harbour basin, turning circle and the approach channel.

The modality and details of our design breakdown for the Port and Backup Areas for
the Port included:

· Port limits up to 15 km from the shoreline. 

· Approximately 278-acre waterfront area with some 3.2 km coastline.

· Reclaimed area from dredged materials extending outwards from the 3.

· 2 km coastline. Size of area is to be determined by Consultant.

· A contiguous 2,000 acre Free Trade Zone area with a suitable area so me 3 km away
for storage of thermal coal directly from the berths and evacuated subsequently to the
power plant and to other port users by rail or road. The size and modality of storage
area are to be determined by the Consultant.

· Areas in the same Free Trade Zone for (a) a Tank Farm for the handling and storage
of Bulk Liquid through the Port and (b) storage of RoRo vehicles. The size and modality
of storage area are to be determined by the Consultant.
