Power generation company Coastal Energen, which is undergoing an insolvency process, has attracted interests from a clutch of buyers that include billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta, a media report said. 

Torrent Power, Jindal Power and Dickey Alternative Investment Fund are also among the 18 companies that are in the race to acquire the company, The Economic Times reported, citing people close to the development. 

In February last year, the Chennai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) admitted the power producer for insolvency after its promoters failed to revive the company.
