It has completed construction of a 300 MW thermal power plant in Kutch, in which it has invested 400 million pounds, an official release said.
The UK-registered company is employing 600 people in India and is listed on the London stock exchange since 2008, it said.
The UK has invested 3.2 billion dollars in India, more than any other G20 country and more than Japan and the US, added Livingston.
