Dabhol Power Station is located near Anjanwel village in Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra, India, about 160 kilometres (99 mi) south of Mumbai. The power station was built by the Dabhol Power Company (DPC), which was a joint venture of Enron International, General Electric, Bechtel and Maharashtra Power Development Corporation.[1] At the start of its construction in 1992, the Dabhol power station project was, at $3 billion, the biggest foreign investment in India. The project was mired in controversy from its inception, which would escalate so dramatically that it affected politics and foreign policy at the national level.[2]
