Lalitpur Power Generation Co Ltd (LPGCL), had signed an agreement with UP government in 2010 to set up 1980 MW (3 units of 660 MW each) super critical thermal power plant at Lalitpur in Bundelkhand district. The first of Three units of 660 MW each was successfully commissioned.

The main plant package is being executed by BHEL while other important packages are being completed by established vendors including L&T, Simplex and Paharpur, the statement said. LPGCL said that the commissioning of the first unit of 660 MW at Lalitpur is expected to reduce the State`s dependence on the energy exchange. Consequently, this will also lower congestion on the transmission network. Such commencement of LPGCL strengthens the presence of the Bajaj Group as a major power producer in the state of Uttar Pradesh where they already have a presence through their existing 450 MW thermal power capacity. This marks an important milestone in their expansion efforts.
