Jindal Power Secures $470 Million Loan for Botswana 700 MW Coal Project
Jindal Power Ltd. has secured a $470 million offshore loan from three Indian banks—Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and Export-Import Bank of India—to finance its 700-megawatt coal power project in Botswana. The nine-year facility is being syndicated with international lenders and supports Jindal's overseas expansion. The plant, scheduled for commissioning next month, aims to meet Botswana's growing electricity demand, particularly from its mining sector, leveraging the country's substantial coal reserves.
