The undated satellite photo below shows the power station in Eklahare village.
Background
Nasik Thermal Power Station is an existing 910 megawatt (MW) coal plant in Maharashtra, operated by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (Mahagenco).
It consists of five units:[1]
- Unit 1 - 140 MW - 1970

- Unit 3 - 210 MW - 1979
- Unit 4 - 210 MW - 1980
- Unit 5 - 210 MW - 1981
660 MW Expansion
Mahagenco is planning to install a 660 MW supercritical unit at the same location as the existing plant. Water for the project was approved in January 2011. The project has been assured supply of coal from Mahanadi coal blocks by MahaGuj Collieries. The Terms of Reference for the project were received from the Ministry of Environment and Forests in September 2011, and the company said an Environmental Impact Assessment was in progress.[2]
The state of Maharashtra will contribute 20% of the Rs 4,390 crore cost of the project. The state will aso be the guarantor for raising the remaining funds from various lending institutions.[3]
The terms of reference was extended in 2014.[4] An EIA was submitted in February 2014.[5] As of December 2017 there has been no additional news about the project. It appears to have been shelved.
