KSK Mahanadi is a Chhattisgarh-based electricity generation firm owning a 3,600 MW thermal power plant, utilising domestic coal and located in Chhattisgarh. Presently, 1,800 MW (600 MWx3 units) is operational which is 95% tied up under long and medium-term power purchase agreements.
An additional 1,800 MW (600 MWx3 units) is under construction, out of which one unit (600 MW) is 40% completed and the balance is in place for the remaining 1,200 MW. The plant has a firm arrangement for water and coal transportation for the entire 3,600 MW.
KSK Mahanadi entered debt resolution in 2020 after defaulting on payments, facing claims of ₹29,330 crore from lenders. Several banks, including State Bank of India, transferred loans to asset reconstruction companies to recover dues. Inadequate coal supply strained KSK Mahanadi's finances.
