{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-Indiacoal}} Pegadapalli (Jaipur Mandal) power station (also known as the Adilabad power station or the Jaipur power station) is a 1,200-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Telangana (formerly Andhra Pradesh), India.
An additional unit of 800 MW has been proposed.

Project Location
The map below shows the plant as identified in Wikimapia, near the city of Ramagundam.[1] The location is about 30 km north of the location described in the 2009 Environmental Clearance.[2]
Background
The project is that is proposed by Singareni Collieries, India's second largest coal mining company. It was originally permitted as a 600 MW (2 x 300 MW) power station, according to the first Environmental Clearance issued October 28, 2009.[2]
In December 2010 a new Environmental Clearance was issued for a 1200 MW (2 x 600 MW) project.[3] Construction began in 2013.[4]
In April 2011, it was reported that Singareni Collieries had achieved financial closure for the $1.4-billion station, expected to be operational in April 2014. Of the 1200 MW, 150 MW would be earmarked for SCCL's use and the remaining 1050 MW would be sold to AP Transco.[5]
In March 2014 Singareni Collieries Company invited bids for construction of the 1200 MW power station.[6] Unit 1 is planned for commercial operation in March 2016 and unit 2 in June 2016.[7]
Unit 1 was synchronized in March 2016,[8] and began commercial operation in June 2016. Unit 2 was synchronized in June 2016,[9] and commissioned on November 25, 2016.[4]
Phase II expansion
In March 2015 Singareni Collieries submitted an application to add an additional unit 3 of 600 MW.[10] The project was granted a terms of reference on May 27, 2015.[11]
According to Singareni Collieries, the Telangana government directed the company to set up the additional unit to address energy shortages in the state.[12]
In April 2017 it was reported the unit would be 800 MW.[13] The terms of reference for the revised size was approved on May 14, 2018.[14] The EIA is for supercritical technology. Coal is planned to come from the proposed Naini coal mine in Odisha, with expected production in 2020-21.[15]
