Ramagundam power station

Ramagundam power station is a 2,600 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Andhra Pradesh, India. Two 500 MW units are proposed to be added at the same location.

Background
Ramagundam power station is owned and operated by the National Thermal Power Corporation.

On July 1, 2011, Singareni Collieries Co. Ltd. (SCCL) started the $190-million construction phase of the Adriyala coal project, in the southern Indian province of Andhra Pradesh. The project would aim to extract some 2.81-million tons a year of coal from estimated reserves of 54.36-million tons, located in the Karimnagar district of the southern state. The entire production from the Adriyala coal mine will be linked to the Ramagundam power station. SCCL and NTPC agreed to a long-term plan under which the coal miner would ensure supplies of five-million tons a year of thermal grade coal to the power producer.
