The state-owned power giant NTPC has permanently shut down its 220 MW Barauni Thermal Power Station Stage-I. NTPC is India's biggest power utility, with 75,418 MW of installed capacity (including joint ventures).
On December 15, 2018, NTPC purchased the Barauni Thermal Power Station (720 MW) in Bihar's Begusarai District from the Bihar State Power Generation Company.
"Operation of NTPC Barauni Thermal Power Station Stage-I (2x110 MW) comprising of two Units (Unit 6 & 7) of 110 MW each (along with all Auxiliary systems except CHP, Switchyard, Ash Dyke and Township) shall be permanently discontinued w.e.f. 31st March 2024," a regulatory filing said on Saturday. Established in 1975, NTPC aims to become a 130 GW firm by 2032.
In terms of R&M (renovation and modernization) and construction, the 720 MW coal-based power station consisted of two 110 MW units at the time of acquisition and two 250 MW units. The facility comprised Stage-I (2x110 MW) and Stage-II (2x250 MW).
Union Power Minister RK Singh dedicated Stage-II 500 MW (2x250 MW) of NTPC Barauni Thermal Power Station to the nation in November 2021. The project has linked Badam Coal Block, also part of the transfer scheme.
