The turbine-generator package will be manufactured and supplied in line with the project's construction schedule, supporting the timely completion and commissioning of the plant. By sourcing key equipment through an associate company, the company aims to enhance supply-chain certainty, improve coordination during execution, and reduce risks arising from industry-wide equipment shortages, the company stated.
JSW Energy currently owns and operates 5,658 MW of thermal generation capacity, fuelled by a mix of imported and domestic coal. With 1,600 MW under construction at Salboni and an option to add 1,800 MW at KSK Mahanadi, the company's total thermal capacity is expected to increase to 9,058 MW. This would represent about 30 percent of the company's total locked-in capacity of 30.5 GW.
Sharad Mahendra, Joint Managing Director and CEO of JSW Energy, said, “The turbine generator supply contract with Toshiba JSW is a strategic step in strengthening supply-chain control and ensuring execution certainty for our Salboni thermal project. Our long-standing association with Toshiba, forged in 2008, is built on shared values of excellence, innovation, and a commitment to long-term value creation, and this association further reinforces that trusted partnership.”
He further added, “The Salboni power project underscores our commitment to supporting India's energy security by adding reliable baseload capacity that complements the country's expanding renewable footprint. As India advances toward its long-term energy transition goals, thermal power will continue to play a vital role in grid stability and system resilience. We are proud to contribute to the nation's ambitious roadmap of incrementally adding nearly 100 GW of thermal capacity, while building a balanced, secure, and future-ready power system for Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 30.5 GW, comprising 13.3 GW operational, 12.4 GW under-construction across thermal and renewable, 150 MW under-acquisition hydro and has a pipeline of 4.6 GW. The company also has 29.4 GWh of locked-in energy storage capacity through hydro pumped storage projects of 26.4 GWh and a battery energy storage system of 3 GWh. The company aims to reach 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by FY 2030 and achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
