Adani Power after market hours on Tuesday, 31 December 2013 said that its state-of-the-art 4,620 megawatts (MW) power plant at Mundra, has set a record by attaining the highest generation of 4,644 MW, making it the only power station of such a gigantic size to reach a significant milestone in electricity production.

The Mundra plant, which is one of the world's largest private coal based power station at a single location, has five units of 660 MW and four units of 330 MW each. All the 660 MW units are based on environment friendly supercritical technology, Adani Power said in a statement.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group said, “Adani Power is committed to narrow the demand supply gap in electricity in India. We are proud that the Mundra plant has surpassed its installed capacity of 4,620 MW. This is a national record in the Indian power sector. We, at Adani, are devoted towards nation building and this project is dedicated to the people of India. We are confident of achieving a target of generating 9,240 MW of electricity by March 2014”.
Mr. Vneet S Jaain, CEO, Adani Power said, “Achieving 4,644 MW power generation at Mundra is one more feather in the cap of our Mundra plant. The state-of-the-art technology used in this project and Adani's expertise in management of such complex projects are key to its success. We hope to replicate this feat at our other projects too”.
