NTPC to build $2.1B Indian thermal plant

National Thermal Power Corp plans to construct a Rs100bn or $2.17 billion thermal power plant in Maharashtra.

The 1,320MW plant is expected to supply power generated from the facility to Raichur in the state of Karnataka. It will employ super-critical technology, which can lower carbon dioxide emissions from the plant, according to Solapur district collector Jagdish Patil.

The plant will also feature two power generation units with a 660MW generation capacity each and a 400/220Kv sub-station to manage the power grid.

A Bharat Forge and Alstom joint venture will supply turbo generators for the plant.

Construction of the project will begin once NTPC receives approval from the Supreme Court on issues related to the global tender for the project.

The coal-fuelled plant is expected to begin commercial operations in three years.
