LANCO Infratech Ltd (LITL) has won two super critical power projects with an installed capacity of 3300 MW in Uttar Pradesh. The bids called by the Uttar Pradesh Government for development of the two thermal power projects viz., Prayagraj of 1980 MW (3×660 MW) and Sangam of 1320 MW (2×660 MW) were opened on 11 April 2008 at the Office of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd which conducted the competitive bidding process on behalf of the Government. As per the terms of the bids, while 90% of power generated through the projects must be sold to the Government of Uttar Pradesh, the remaining 10% could be sold by the successful bidder through the merchant market.

LITL has won both the projects by outbidding other top players like Reliance Power, NTPC and Jindal Steel & Power. The projects include all the required infrastructure linkages like road, water, fuel and rail.

From among the four leading business houses that participated in the bid for the Prayagraj Power Project, LITL won the bid with a quote of Rs 2.88 per unit. The second lowest bidder Reliance Power quoted Rs 2.94 per unit, followed by NTPC’s Rs 3.44 and Jindal Steel & Power’s Rs 3.591.

With the addition of the two projects, LANCO would now have a total capacity of around 13,000 MW, covering both operational and those under implementation and development.
