Reliance Power, the flagship power company of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, has raised around Rs. 4,000 crore (Rs. 40 billion) of debt from public sector infrastructure financing company Power Finance Corporation to achieve financial closure of two ultra mega power projects.

The UMPPs are coming up at Sasan in Madhya Pradesh and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
