From being a new entrant in India’s power sector in 2006, Adani group has taken rapid strides and has achieved
several path breaking Milestones during its journey of becoming the largest private thermal Power Producer in the
country as well as becoming the largest coal based single location private thermal Power Plant in the world.
Presently the group is working towards the vision 2020 of ADANI GROUP by Chairman Mr Gautam Adani.
“ To be the admired leader in integrated infrastructure business
with a deep commitment to nation building. We shall be known
for the scale of our ambition, speed of execution and quality of
operation ’’
Towards this vision ,Adani Group has set up the target to achieve generation capacity of 20,000 MW by the year 2020. In order to realize this, the group is working on several coal based power project. Total work commissioned / under execution / development stage is around 16,500 MW.
First in the seires of these projects( Mundra) with capacity of 4620 MW is commissioned.
It has 4 units of 330 MW each( sub-critical) and 5 units of 660 MW each( supercritical). All the 09 units are commissioned with the 9
th unit commissioning in March’12.

2. Introduction:
The Adani Power Project at Mundra, Gujarat has a special place in history of Power Sector in India as its first 660
MW unit commissioned in December 2010 became the 1st unit of 660 MW Capacity in India. These 660 MW
units are based on Supercritical Technology. Hence, commissioning of this unit also marked the milestone of
introduction of Supercritical Technology in India.
Further, by establishing 1000 km of HVDC ( High Voltage Direct Current ) transmission line from
Mundra(Gujarat )to Mahendragarh ( Harayna), Adani Group took lead in private sector in the field of DC mode of
power transmission. The DC transmission line with the capacity of 2500 MW is strategically established to
cater to the power requirement of regions such as Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh besides Haryana.
2x330 MW June 2006 (Synchronized in May’09 and January’10)
2x330 MW December 2006 (Synchronized in July’10 and November’10)
2x660 MW September 2007 (Synchronized in December’10 and June’11)
3x330 MW January 2008 ( Synchronized in Oct’11, Feb’12 and March’12)
This project was undertaken with the challenges of implementing improved technology ( supercritical) and larger
unit size( 660 MW) to set precedent in the country. Prior to it, the thermal power generating units in the country
were of sub-critical with maximum capacity of 500 MW.
The successful commissioning of all the 9 units was achieved and attributed to the exemplary leadership ,
teamwork and whole hearted support from our top management.
Apart from the geographical constraints and site remoteness , other challenges such as language barrier with the
Chinese counterparts, huge skilled manpower requirement and timely cash flow were faced and were managed by
project team at site with active support and guidance from HO effectively and efficiently.
In line with the EDPM course undertaken ( 15
th – 17
th June’12) , the following report has been prepared to review
& analyse the Project management concepts implemented during the course of this project.
Additionally, effort has been made to identify few suggestions / improvements for future projects. It is in line
with the management initiatives already undertaken for implementing continuous learning and improved project
management practices in consultation with renowned consultants in the field of performance monitoring &
management.
