On April 17, 2015, hundreds of farmers and land owners began protesting the project site, demanding higher compensation from NTPC for their lands acquired for the power station. According to ''The Hindu Business Line,'' a platoon of 150 police personnel were deployed, and the construction site - spread over 2,000 acres - was declared a prohibited area under the Official Secrets Acts.<ref>[http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/solapur-farmers-stage-protests-at-ntpc-plant-site-demand-higher-compensation/article7134868.ece "Solapur farmers stage protests at NTPC plant site, demand higher compensation,"] The Hindu Business Line, Apr 23, 2015</ref>
