The State Pollution Control Board, Odisha ('SPCB') through its

With this order, the closure order has been revoked on all five
power units that were directed by SPCB to be temporarily closed.
The SPCB has allowed operation of all the units of 1215 MW and 2400
MW plants up to January 12, 2018 after which further extension of
operation will be considered with a review of progress.
The Company had earlier announced on September 14, 2017, that
consequent to a breach in the ash dyke wall at Jharsuguda, the SPCB
had served a direction resulting in a temporary closure of three
units of 135 MW each of the 1215 MW power plant, and two units of
600 MW each of the 2400 MW power plant.
We had earlier, vide our announcement dated September 21, 2017,
