NUPPL achieves early synchronisation of Unit-2 of its supercritical thermal power plant in Uttar Pradesh
Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited (NUPPL), a joint venture between NLC India Limited and Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited, has successfully carried out Turbine Generator (TG) rolling and synchronisation of Unit-2 (660 mW) of NUPPL's 1980 mW supercritical thermal power plant in Ghatampur Tehsil, Uttar Pradesh. The synchronization of the thermal power plant with the 765 kV grid, was carried out in a single, seamless attempt on Sunday, and well ahead of the scheduled lead time after the successful completion of the Steam Blowing milestone. The synchronization of Unit-2 marked a crucial step forward in NUPPL's journey towards Commercial Operation Declaration (COD). This achievement reinforces NUPPL's steadfast commitment to delivering 31.68 million units of reliable and sustainable power to the nation, a press note from NLC India Ltd. (NLCIL) said. Commenting on the achievement, Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, Chairman and Managing Director of NLCIL, said the accomplishment is the result of unwavering focus and dedicated efforts of NUPPL, NLCIL, and UPRVUNL, supported by the Ministry of Coal, Government of India. With Unit 1 operational since December 2024, the synchronization of Unit-2 represents another major step towards the project's full realisation. Unit-3 is expected to be commissioned in 2025-26 fiscal, bringing the total capacity of Ghatampur Thermal Power project to 1,980 mW. Located in Ghatampur Tehsil, Kanpur Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, the plant comprises three supercritical thermal units of 660 mW each. The project is designed to supply 75.12% (1,487.28 MW) of its power to Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining 24.88% (492.77 mW) is allocated to Assam. In addition to the power plant, NUPPL is also making strides in the development of the linked coal mine in Pachwara South Coal Block in Dumka district of Jharkhand, which will provide a sustainable source of fuel for the end-use power plant. The Ghatampur project features state-of-the-art supercritical boiler and turbine-generator technologies, designed to meet the latest environmental standards. The plant incorporates Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, ensuring Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and minimizing ecological impact. With the synchronisation of Unit-2, NUPPL is now on the verge of completing the final commissioning activities, paving the way for its formal entry into commercial operations, NLCIL said.

By Aman Shukla Published on July 20, 2025, 11:49 IST Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited (NUPPL), the joint venture between NLC India Limited and UPRVUNL, has achieved a major milestone by successfully completing the 'TG Rolling & Synchronization' of Unit-2 (660 MW) at the 1,980 MW Ghatampur Thermal Power Project. The unit was synchronized with the 765 kV grid at 00:05 AM today, ahead of schedule and in one smooth go following the steam blowing process. This achievement brings NUPPL a step closer to the Commercial Operation Declaration (COD). Unit-1 of the project has been operational since December 2024, and now with Unit-2 synchronized, focus shifts to Unit-3, which is expected to be commissioned in FY 2025–26. Located in Kanpur Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, the Ghatampur project features three supercritical 660 MW units. It will supply over 1,480 MW to Uttar Pradesh and nearly 493 MW to Assam, making it a key power contributor in North and Northeast India. The plant is backed by its own coal supply from the Pachwara South Coal Block in Jharkhand, ensuring steady fuel availability. Designed with modern technology, the plant incorporates FGD and SCR systems for emission control and follows a Zero Liquid Discharge policy—reflecting NUPPL's strong environmental commitment. With Unit-2 now online, the project edges closer to full-scale operations, delivering reliable and cleaner power for the nation.

PM Modi inaugurates Unit I of Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited's Ghatampur Thermal Power Project
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (May 30, 2025) dedicated Unit I of the Ghatampur Thermal Power Project in Kanpur Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh to the nation. The project, inaugurated by the Prime Minister on Friday, was developed by Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited (NUPPL), a joint venture of NLC India Limited (51%) and Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (UPRVUNL) (49%). According to a NLCIL press release, the project comprises three supercritical thermal power units of 660 MW each, adding up to a substantial 1,980 MW of installed capacity. This initiative aims to meet the growing electricity demand in Uttar Pradesh and other States, enhancing energy security, while aligning with the nation's commitment to sustainable and reliable power generation. The project cost is ₹21,780.94 crore, and the remaining two units of the Ghatampur Thermal Power Project are expected to be commissioned in 2025-26. A total of 998.81 hectares of land was acquired for its development. Project features According to NLCIL, the project has several advanced environmental technologies, including Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) technologies for reducing NOx and (SOx) emissions, respectively. The project also includes a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system in place to ensure no water is discharged from the plant. A total of 288 km of canal lining works are being undertaken to conserve 195 MLD of water by preventing seepage losses. The project is equipped with sophisticated monitoring devices, including Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AAQMS) and Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS).
