Background
While attempting to test run the plant in 2020 a gas turbine exploded injuring multiple people.[10][11] A second trial run is expected in July 2022.[12]
According to the CEA's Broad Status reports in September and October 2024, the Yelahanka Raichur power station had been built and was running trials at the time of the reports' writing.[13][14] The reports implied that the power station was anticipated to begin operation in December 2024.
