Adani Power's ultra-supercritical thermal plant in Bhagalpur, worth about ₹30,000 crore, is under development with the first unit targeted for 2028.
Bihar State Power Generation Company signed a 25-year power supply agreement with Adani Power for the plant at Pirpainti. Gautam Adani visited the site in February 2026 to review progress.
Construction is expected to employ an estimated 10,000–12,000 people, with around 3,000 jobs once the plant is running. The project is central to the state's goal of energy security and lower dependence on external power.
