Public sector mining and power generation company Neyveli Lignite Corporation proposes to build two coal fired power plants of 2000 MW each in Orissa and Uttar Pradesh with an estimated investment of INR 20 000 crore.
The Uttar Pradesh project would be built by a joint venture with the Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd, and the Orissa project probably with Mahanadhi Coal Fields Ltd. NLC has asked UPRVUNL to approach the state government of Uttar Pradesh to obtain the necessary in-principle approvals for land.
NLC, Mahanadhi and Hindalco have set up a JV for a 20 million tonne per annum coal mine at Talabira in Orissa.
