Based on tariff-based bidding managed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC), Reliance Power was awarded the Tilaiya UMPP in February 2009. JIPL, the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for implementing the project, was handed over to Reliance Power by PFC in August 2009. JIPL has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with 18 power off-takers in 10 states for 25 years. For fuel security, the project was allocated Kerendari BC captive coal mine block.
