"Reliance Power has raised over Rs 20,000 crore to fund three projects aggregating 5,000 Mw," a company statement said.    This includes Rs 15,000 crore for the 4,000 Mw Sasan thermal power project in Madhya Pradesh.

The company also plans to commission power projects worth 600 Mw capacity during the current financial year.
