Thermal Power Plant
- A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power, by heating water in the forms of vapours which drives the steam turbine. This steam turbine drives an electrical generator which produces Electricity.
- They are classified according to the heat source as follows:
-
- Coal Fired
- Gas
- Diesel or Liquid fuel
- Geothermal
- Biomass
- Waste Material

Thermal Power Plants in India
- More than 62% of India’s electricity demand is met through the country’s vast coal reserves.
- India mainly uses three types of thermal power plants which are listed below along with their installed capacity as of April 2019:
-
- Coal: 196,097.50 MW
- Gas: 24,867.46 MW
- Liquid Fuel(Diesel): 837.63 MW
-
- The electricity generated by these plants adds up to 71% of the total power generation in the country.
- Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operating coal-based thermal power plants.
- Apart from NTPC and other state level operators, some private companies are also operating the power plants.
- Here is list of some coal-based operating thermal power plants in India.

Some Interesting Facts about Coal based Thermal Power Plants in India
First Thermal Power Plant of India – Hussain Sagar Thermal Power Station
- Hussain Sagar Thermal Power Station is the historic thermal power plant that was located in Hyderabad, Telangana on the banks of Hussain Sagar.
- It was India’s first thermal power station, opened in 1920 by the erstwhile seventh Nizam of Hyderabad.
- The plant was fully operational until 1972 when two units were shut down. In 1984, for practical reasons production mostly ended. However, until 1992 the plant was intermittently used. The structure was demolished in 1995.
Biggest Power Plant of India
- The Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh, with an installed capacity of 4,760 MW, is currently the biggest thermal power plant in India.
- It is a coal-based power plant owned and operated by NTPC.
