Project-level coal details

• Coal source(s): North Karanpura Coalfields

Background

The power station consists of the following units:

• Unit 1 - 110 MW - 1988
• Unit 2 - 110 MW - 1989
• Unit 3 - 110 MW - 1990
• Unit 4 - 110 MW - 1998
• Unit 5 - 660 MW - 2019
• Unit 6 - 660 MW - 2021

Reporting in May 2024 announced that NTPC had successfully achieved co-firing 20% torrefied biomass at the primarily coal-fired Unit 4.

Expansion

Two new units of 660 MW each have been proposed at the same location.

In a 2013 presentation by NTPC to analysts, the project was not included in a list of "Projects Under Construction," nor was it included in a list of "Capacity Addition Scheduled in 12th Plan" (i.e. 2017). However, in March 2014 it was reported that NTPC would place orders "in the current fiscal" for the boilers at the Tanda project to a joint venture between Larsen and Toubro and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and the orders for steam turbine and generator to a joint venture between Alstom SA and Bharat Forge.

As of April 2015 the units are listed as under construction. Boiler erection began on Unit 5 in December 2015 and on Unit 6 in May 2016. They have a proposed commissioning of 2019-2020.

Unit 5 was commissioned in September 2019.

NTPC reported that unit 6 had been added to its installed capacity on March 31, 2021.

Financing

Units 5-6: Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) was considering financing the project, but as of 2019 the loan proposal has been withdrawn.

As per 2020 tariff determination document released dated January 2020, the units were financed by several corporate-style unsecured bank facilities extended to NTPC as well as from NTPC's bond proceeds. The document mentions unsecured loans from Power Finance Corporation, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur and State Bank of India. However these are not considered project finance facilities.
