JSW Energy, which debuted on the stock exchanges in the first week of January, had earlier contracted coal from Indonesia to fuel its power projects.

The company will form a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with group company JSW Bengal Steel to set up a 1,600-Mw (2x800 Mw) power plant at Ichhapur in West Bengal.

JSW Energy will hold 74 per cent in the SPV and JSW Bengal Steel the balance 26 per cent. The SPV will develop the power project and captive coal mines in Ichhapur at an estimated cost of Rs 7,680 crore and Rs 2,000 crore, respectively. The project is proposed to be financed with a debt equity ratio of 3:1. The steel producer will buy 51 per cent of the power produced from this unit and the rest will be up for sale, said the release.

Share prices of the company fell 2.33 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange today, to close at Rs 112.95 per share.
