In what is being hailed as a historic milestone for Bihar, the Adani Group — India’s leading industrial conglomerate — is set to invest an unprecedented ₹25,000 crore to establish a 2,400 MW thermal power plant in Pirpainti, located in the Bhagalpur district of the state. This marks the largest private investment in Bihar’s history, and positions the state as a major destination for industrial and energy infrastructure development in eastern India.
The power project not only promises to meet Bihar's long-term electricity demands but is also expected to act as a catalyst for job creation, infrastructure expansion, and regional development.

Bihar, historically known for its rich culture and human capital, has often lagged behind in terms of industrial investment and infrastructure. This massive ₹25,000 crore initiative from Adani Group could be a tipping point that reshapes the state's economic landscape.
Here’s how:
With a 30-year power purchase agreement in place, the Bihar Government has secured electricity at a fixed rate of ₹6.08/unit, ensuring price stability and availability for millions of homes and businesses.
From construction to operations and ancillary services, the project is estimated to generate over 20,000 direct and indirect jobs — a critical boost for the regional economy.
Large-scale projects like these lead to improved roads, railways, water supply systems, and urban services, not just in Pirpainti but across the Bhagalpur region.
The entry of a corporate giant like Adani into Bihar’s power sector signals a renewed investor trust, which may attract global and national investments in other sectors like manufacturing, logistics, and renewable energy.
Speaking about the development, Bihar's Energy Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav said:
“This is a historic leap forward for Bihar. The Pirpainti Power Project will not only fulfill our energy needs but also position Bihar as a hub of industrial investment in eastern India. The selection process was fair, transparent, and competitive. The lowest bidder — Adani Group — has been finalized, and the groundwork is set to begin shortly.”
He added that within five years, electricity from this plant will start flowing to the Bihar grid, supporting both rural and urban electrification goals.
Bihar has long depended on electricity imports from other states. With this plant, the state can now produce and manage its own power, reducing dependency and improving reliability.
An industrial-scale power project of this size will diversify the state’s economy, shifting it from being purely agrarian to energy, logistics, and industry-driven.
Year | Project Stage | Key Impact |
---|---|---|
2025–2026 | Groundwork & Infrastructure | Employment, Local Development |
2027–2028 | Construction Phase | Peak Job Creation, Vendor Growth |
2029–2030 | Commissioning Phase | Electricity Supply Begins |
2031–2040 | Stabilization | Industrial Boost, Grid Reliability |
2041–2055 | Maturity Phase | Regional Economic Transformation |
The Adani Group’s massive ₹25,000 crore investment in Pirpainti is more than just a business decision — it is a beacon of hope for Bihar’s industrial future. With power comes progress, and this mega project promises to light up not just homes, but dreams. As India looks eastward for growth, Bihar is ready to rise — brighter and stronger.
