Adani Power inks deals to buy Jaiprakash Power stake, Churk assets for over Rs 4,193 crore total

Adani Power on Thursday said it has entered into definitive agreements with Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL) to acquire a 24% stake in Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (JPVL) and the 180 MW Churk thermal power plant in Uttar Pradesh, as part of the NCLT-approved resolution plan for JAL.

The company said it has signed a Share Purchase Agreement for acquiring JAL’s 24% stake in JPVL for about Rs 2,993.6 crore. It has also entered into a Business Transfer Agreement to acquire the Churk thermal power plant and related assets, including JAL’s 11.49% stake in Prayagraj Power Generation Company Ltd, for Rs 1,200 crore.

The acquisitions will strengthen Adani Power’s generation portfolio and deepen its presence in the thermal power sector, while also enabling it to gain strategic exposure to JPVL’s diversified energy and mining assets. The deal forms part of the broader Adani Group-led resolution plan for debt-ridden JAL and aligns with Adani Power’s core business of power generation.

Earlier this year, the NCLT approved the Adani Group’s Rs 14,535 crore resolution plan for Jaiprakash Associates after it secured majority lender support, while lenders rejected a higher rival bid from Vedanta.

Adani Power said the acquisitions will be completed in cash and are expected to be consummated on the “Effective Date” under the approved resolution plan, which is to occur within 90 days from the NCLT approval granted on March 17, 2026.

The company added that the Competition Commission of India had already approved the transaction in August 2025, while the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal upheld the resolution plan in May 2026.
