As per the bidding norms, the Project was designed to be run on Indian [[coal]]. The Project is expected to benefit close to 16 million domestic consumers apart from supplying cost competitive power to industry and agriculture.{{fact|date=July 2022}}

The Project will supply power to four states namely [[New Delhi]], [[Jharkhand]], [[West Bengal]] and [[Kerala]] as per long term PPA which are currently facing shortage of electricity. It will provide a competitive source of power and help meet these states’ growing demand for electricity. Reliable power from the project will help improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing and services industries.{{fact|date=July 2022}}
