Adani Power Limited, the power business subsidiary of the Adani Group, has decided to shut down four units of Tiroda Plant in Maharashtra due to water shortage. “Adani Power Maharashtra Limited, the company's wholly owned subsidiary, has shut down its 4 units of 660 MW each out of total 5 units of 660 MW each, situated at Tiroda Plant in Maharashtra due to acute water shortage,” informed Adani Power in a BSE filing on May 16, 2016.
Tiroda Power Plant gets water under a long term arrangement from Dhapewada Project of Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation. Due to drought condition in Maharashtra, the water dam has dried up and, hence, is unable to supply water to the Tiroda Power Plant.
The production from these 4 units will resume once the water is available, it added.
