Background

Dondaicha Thermal Power Station is a proposed 3300 megawatt (MW) coal plant in Maharashtra state, India.

Land

The company states that land acquisition is progressing, in-principle agreement on water allocation and coal will be made available from the Chendipada Coal block in Orissa.[1]

Water

WRD has approved resevation of water for Stage I.[1]

Coal

"The U.C.M (Uttarpradesh-Chattisghad-Maharashtra) Joint venture company who have been allotted the coal block have appointed M.D.O to develop the said mine. The coal for Unit 3, 4 &5 (Stage-II) is proposed to be made available from Machhakata coal block in Orissa. However, if Dhopawe 3x660 MW project is approved by GoM, the coal available from this coal block will be diverted to Dhopawe project and the coal required for Dondaicha Stage-II project will be made available from Mahanadi coal block in Orissa. In case of delay in availability of coal from Mahanadi coal block, coal will be made available from tapered linkage," the company states.[1]
