{{stub}}{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-Indiacoal}}'''Shahpur Thermal Power Project''' is a proposed coal plant in Maharashtra, India. ==Location==The map below shows the location of Shahpur but not the exact location of the project. {{#display_point:|17.296375, 73.213105|width=500|height=400|type=hybrid|zoom=14}} ==Background=='''Shahpur Thermal Power Project''' is a 1200-1800 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station being developed by Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited, a subsidiary of [[Reliance Power]]. In 2006 MEGL sought tender bids for the development of two identical super-critical coal units "in the range of 1200-1800 MW". These would supplement a 1400MW gas-fired plant which is being developed as phase 1 of the project.<ref name="Butibori">[http://meglshahapurcoal.com/ "Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited (MEGL)"], Reliance Energy website, accessed May 2011.</ref><ref>[http://meglshahapurcoal.com/Information_for_Bidders.pdf "Information for Bidders], Reliance Energy, July 31, 2006. (Pdf)</ref>
The current status of the coal-fired units is unclear. On its website, Reliance Power refers to the Shahapur project only as a 4,000MW gas project.<ref>Reliance Power, [http://www.reliancepower.co.in/business_areas/power_projects/gas_based_projects.htm "Gas Based Projects"], Reliance Power website, accessed May 2011.</ref>
Maharashtra is among India’s most industrialized states, and is seeking to make itself an attractive investment destination for manufacturers to maintain its primacy in the sector.<ref>Makarand Gadgil, [http://www.livemint.com/2011/09/10000526/RPower-wants-to-scrap-Raigad.html?h=B "R-Power wants to scrap Raigad power project"] Wall Street Journal, Sep. 10, 2011.</ref>
