"VS Lignite Power Plant - Commencement of Power Generation 
 
KSK Energy Ventures Limited ("KSKEV") announces the commencement of power 
generation from their 135 MW lignite fired project in Rajasthan. The project 
undertaken through the special purpose vehicle, VS Lignite Power Private Limited 
("VSLP"), is a group captive power plant and will primarily cater to the power 
requirements of premier industrial consumers in the state of Rajasthan through 
long term Power Delivery Agreements. All the interim surplus and stabilization 
phase supplies shall be made available to the local Rajasthan utility, through 
whose grid system, the power plant would ultimately deliver power to the various 
contracted industrial consumers under open access arrangements. 
 
The project is based on lignite supplies from Gurha East captive lignite block, 
located in the Bikaner District. The captive lignite block was awarded in July 
2005 and has entered into operations. Spread over an area of approx 1200 
hectares, the mine land has been fully acquired. The lignite is planned to meet 
the entire lignite requirement of 1 mtpa which is required for generation of 135 
MW power at VSLP. 
 
KSKEV has been able to start testing the power plant parameters based on the 
lignite supplies from Gurha East mine, its own fuel source. 
 
With this addition, the installed generation capacity of KSK will increase from 
144 MW to 279 MW" 
 
Commenting on the commissioning of the plant, Mr. T. L. Sankar, Chairman of KSK,

achievement and power generation having commenced. We are looking forward to 
releasing further details on our other sites and operations in due course."
