About the Joint Venture

DVC-CIL Power Private Limited is a strategic 50:50 joint venture between Damodar Valley Corporation and Coal India Limited, created to strengthen India’s power infrastructure through reliable, efficient, and future-ready energy generation. The venture brings together DVC’s legacy in power generation and regional development with Coal India Limited’s strength in fuel security and resource management. Together, the partnership aims to develop a 2 x 800 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power project at Chandrapura, Bokaro, Jharkhand, supporting energy security, industrial growth, and sustainable regional development.

DVC is India’s first multipurpose river valley project, a statutory body under the Ministry of Power, Government of India. As of 31 March 2025, DVC has a total generation of 6687.2 MW [6540 MW (thermal) + 147.2 MW (hydro)] and owns and operates extensive T&D assets in Jharkhand and West Bengal.

CIL, a Maharatna central public sector enterprise, is the single largest coal producer in the world and in pursuance of initiatives towards diversifying its existing business portfolio and ventures into power generation to ensure energy security of the nation.
