JP Group completely owns the 500MW Bina thermal power project.

JP Power executive told Hindustan Times: “There are many discussions which happen but we have not firmed up anything with JSW for any of our projects.”

“The company is considering various options and is yet to consolidate plans of taking over specific assets.”

The Bina power plant is expected to carry an enterprise value of INR35bn ($574.4m) while the Nigrie power project is expected to be more than INR90bn ($1.47bn), provided the deal, if signed, includes coal JV with the Madhya Pradesh state.
