Location

Background

Nasik Thermal Power Station is an existing 910 megawatt (MW) coal plant in Maharashtra state, India. The plant is operated by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (Mahagenco). It consists of five units:[1]

  • Unit 1 - 140 MW - 1970
  • Unit 2 - 140 MW - 1972
  • 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 an Environmental Impact Assessment is 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]
