It is located to the north of Mangalore, west of Belmannu, and just to the northeast of Padubidri in the village of Yellur, Udupi district, close to the Shambavi River, roughly 7 or 8 km from the coast from where the imported coal for the power plant is transported to plant through rail line.

It has installed capacity of 1200 MW (2x600).[2] The plant became fully operational in September 2012.[3]

The plant is operated by Udupi Power Corporation Limited which is a subsidiary of Lanco Infratech. Earlier the plant was owned by Nagarjuna Power Corporation Limited.[4]

In August 2014, Lanco Infratech has agreed to sell this power plant to Adani Power for Rupees 6,000 Crores. The deal finally concluded in April, 2015.[5][6]

Adani power proposed phase 2 at the same site for 2x800MW and received environment clearance from MoEF [7]

gollark: For instance, you'll have to map out what all the nerve I/O does, without the benefit of being able to test things very fast on a computer. And you need a good understanding of random bodily processes to keep the nervous system extant.
gollark: Many of the same challenges apply to both, actually.
gollark: You'll probably die because of some weirdly specific process not working because you're missing the organs.
gollark: This is nontrivial. You would need to keep it supplied with 190278149 random nutrients and such, and also work out how to interface with it.
