Background
The Anpara-C power station, built by Lanco, adjoins the existing Anpara power station operated by UPRVUNL. The power station is located near Anpara in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Both units were commissioned in November 2011 according to the Ministry of Power.[1][2]
The World Bank has supplied financing for the project.[3]
Water is obtained from the Rihand reservoir. According to the Environmental Assessment prepared for the plant, 12% of the area of the plant was under cultivation and 52% was forest, including 9 protected forests. The buffer zone, an area of 10 km radius around the project, includes langur or hanuman monkeys, rhesus macaques, short-nosed fruit bats, sloth bears, leopards or panthers, Indian foxes, blue bulls, Indian wil boars, barking deer, etc. However, the study claimed that there were "no wildlife sanctuaries or fragile ecosystems within the study area."[4][5]
In September 2014, it was reported that, after selling its Udipi power station to the Adani Group for Rs 6000 crore (US$1 billion), Lanco Group planned to put three more power plants on the block with a capacity of 3000 MW to raise Rs 15,000 crore (US$2.5 billion) to reduce its debts. Plants included Anpara.[6]
