Description

  • Stage I - 270 MW

Stage I comprises two units of 135 MW each. It was completed and commissioned in 2012.[3]

  • Stage II - 270 MW

Stage II comprises two units of 135 MW each. According to the Central Electricity Authority, this stage was commissioned in March 2013.[3]

  • Stage III - 540 MW

In 2011, it was reported that Adhunik Power wanted to expand the power station through a Stage III of 540 MW. The proposed expansion would require an additional 500 acres, on top of the 500 acres currently being occupied by Stages I and II.[4]

Since then, Adhunik Power has yet to receive permits for the stage III expansion, and plans appear to be deferred or abandoned.
