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