Background
The plant consists of eight units, commissioned between 1985 and 2010. It was the first thermal coal plant built in Karnataka.
Raichur Thermal Power Station expansion (Unit 8: 250 MW)
The most recent unit added to the plant is Unit 8 (250 MW), which was commissioned in June 2010.[2]
Proposed Units 9 and 10
According to Platts, there is a proposal for two more units at the plant (Units 9 and 10) of 500MW each.[3] However, Units 9 and 10 are not listed among either the ongoing, approved, or proposed projects on the Karnataka Power Corporation website; it appears that the projects have been abandoned.[4]
