The project has been awarded under a competitive bidding process invited by West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (WBSEDCL), JSW Energy said in an exchange filing.

It has received a Letter of Award (LoA) from WBSEDCL for the development and operation of a 1,600 MW greenfield (2x800 MW) super/ultra-supercritical domestic coal-based Thermal Power Plant (TPP).
