Article Abstract:

AES Transpower of USA is likely to acquire Essar's 520 mw power plant at Hazira. Two more foreign companies had also bid for this plant.

The Essar group is selling the Hazira power plant as part of its restructuring exercise. Its steel project has not been completed yet and its telecom business is not doing well.
