The CERs can be traded and sold and translates into direct revenues for the power major. The Tilaiya power plant will have six units of 660 MW each and is based in the Hazaribagh district in Jharkhand.





The Tilaiya plant will generate 21.3 million carbon credits during the initial ten-year period valued at over Rs.2,000 crore.



The project would supply power to 18 customers in 10 states and is one of the largest investments undertaken by any private sector entity in India’s eastern part.
