==Background==
[[JSW Energy]] started construction of a 1200 MW thermal power plant (known as the [[JSW Ratnagiri Power Station|Ratnagiri Power Plant]]) at Jaigad in the [[Ratnagiri district]], [[Maharashtra]], in the early 2000s. The thermal power plant was commissioned in 2007. The Jaigad port (JSW) was established in 2006 to support the coal import requirements directly adjacent to the [[Thermal power station|thermal power plant]]. The port was officially inaugurated in August 2009. All of the [[coal]] for JSW Energy thermal power plant is supplied by Jaigad Port.
