Global infrastructure major GMR Group Tuesday said the second unit of its coal-based 1,400 mega watt (MW) power plant in Odisha has started commercial operation.

The GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited (GKEL) is setting up 4x350 MW coal-based power plant at Kamalanga in Dhenkanal district, about 100 km from the state capital Bhubaneswar, in two phases of 3x350 MW and 1x350 MW, respectively.
