In 2022, Vedanta Limited acquired Athena Chhattisgarh Power Limited, a stalled 1,200 MW thermal power project comprising two units of 600 MW each, located at Singhitarai in District Sakti, Chhattisgarh. The acquisition was completed through liquidation proceedings under the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
Following the acquisition, the project was amalgamated with Vedanta Limited by virtue of an order passed by the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Hyderabad, in July 2023. Pursuant to this amalgamation, the plant was renamed Vedanta Ltd. Chhattisgarh Thermal Power Plant (VLCTPP).
In July 2025, VLCTPP successfully completed its trial run and received Commercial Operation Declaration (COD) for Unit 1 (600 MW), marking its formal operationalization. Today, with a diversity ratio of 19% and a fully developed township, VLCTPP stands as a symbol of revival, rapidly emerging as a modern, efficient, and high-performing asset for both Vedanta and the state of Chhattisgarh.
Sustainability lies at the core of VLCTPP’s operations. From Zero Liquid Discharge, to harvesting over 3.64 lakh cubic meters of rainwater annually to nurturing more than 200 species of flora and fauna within the plant’s core zone, every initiative reflects a strong commitment to responsible growth.
VLCTPP has committed to planting 60,000 trees by FY2026 using the Miyawaki method, reinforcing its long-term focus on restoring green cover.
With a youthful workforce making up almost 56%, VLCTPP benefits from a constant flow of agility and new ideas, while 17% diversity across our teams reinforces a culture built on inclusion, collaboration, and continuous learning.
