The company is facing major issues, and financial institutions have begun the process of finding a suitable buyer for the project. Apart from seeking investors, lenders also plan to change the management of a subsidiary that is implementing the raw water intake system for the project, and that of an associate developing the railway siding outside the plant boundary.

The company reported revenues of only Rs. 200 million (US$3 million) in the 2017 fiscal year, which is negligible if 1,200 MW of production capacity was operational during that year. The single reason for non-operation is the non-availability of coal. In 2014, the Supreme Court of India cancelled wholesale all coal allocations made since 1993 by the government of India, which has held a monopoly on coal mining since nationalization in the 1950s.

In 2025, KSK Mahanadi Power Limited, which previously operated the project, was acquired by the public energy company JSW Energy.^[6]
