Jindal Energy Botswana is positioning itself to set a new benchmark in Botswana’s energy sector, with its integrated coal mine and power plant at Mmamabula progressing ahead of schedule under the Mmamabula Energy Project (MEP).

Launched in 2021 as a public-private partnership with the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC), the P28 billion project is designed to strengthen national energy security whilst keeping electricity tariffs amongst the lowest in the SADC region. As an Independent Power Producer (IPP), Jindal has assumed the financial and project risks, working in collaboration with the government to address Botswana’s growing electricity demand.

In a recent interview, Country Director and Project Head Neeraj Saxena expressed unwavering confidence that the project will be delivered ahead of its official 2029 timeline.
