RattanIndia

RattanIndia, formerly RattanIndia Infrastructure Ltd., is an Indian company that is involved in the energy sector. The traditional focus of the company was on coal on thermal power; however, the company has expanded its scope more recently, focusing more on emerging technologies and e-commerce.

The company supplies electricity to Maharashtra state and uses coal from South Coalfields Limited and Mahanadi Coalfields Limited. RattanIndia has two thermal power plants: the first is the Nashik power plant that was reported stranded in 2020 due to no long-term purchase agreements and conflicts on land acquisition. The other power plant is in Amravati that was commissioned in 2015. Amravati power plant was in debt and Goldman Sachs Varde partners took over the Rs 4050 crores against 15 percent equity in 2019.
