Title: GMR Kamalanga project attractive: IDFC projects Equity, Source: Economic times, Date: 06 October 2009
We invest in projects which are either under construction or close to completion and therefore we see the GMR project as one that is particularly attractive, it is fully developed, it is optimally sized at 1050 megawatts, it has a coal block allocation which is critical for any power plant. So in investment decision we look at the time frame to completion, we look at the EPC contracts, the coal supply availability, and the credibility of the developer.
In this instance it is GMR Group that has very proven credentials in executing on projects. They have three power plants that are up and running already. They have executed on the Hyderabad project. They are on their way to executing on the Delhi Airport project so they are very credible developers so all these factors go into our evaluation in making an investment decision and we are actually very pleased with the investment that we have made alongside the GMR Group in this power plant.
