[Neelu Bhasin]

North Karanpura Thermal Power Station is an upcoming coal-based thermal power plant located in Tandwa town in Chatra district, Jharkhand. The power plant is owned by NTPC Limited.


Capacity

The planned capacity of the power plant is 1980 MW (3x660 MW). It was originally projected in 1999 but got delayed because Coal India Limited objected to the location of the power plant and wanted NTPC to move the power plant as it was coming up on site having 6 billion tonnes of coal beneath it.

Coal India Limited withdrew the coal linkage to the plant in 2008. The Government of India finally decided in 2013 February against the relocation and in 2013 July, the coal linkage for the plant was restored.

The foundation stone was finally laid in August 2014. The power station is planned for operation in 2018-2019, later moved to 2020-2021.
