Jeet Adani arrived at the site of the proposed power plant with his 20-member team to inspect lands for thermal power and other projects on Tuesday.

An official source in the Kokrajhar district administration said that Adani Power Division aims to develop Assam’s largest thermal power plant to meet the growing power demands in the state. The Adani Group is planning to set up thermal and solar power projects in lower Assam, sources said. The team also went to Jogighopa to inspect India’s largest logistics park being built.
