PM lays stone for TTPP project in Odisha

Published on

In a historic moment marking a significant stride towards India’s energy security and socio-economic development, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi recently laid the foundation stone of the Phase-1 NLC India Talabira Thermal Power Project 3×800 MW (2,400 MW) in Sambalpur, Odisha.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Modi said, “The government will always ensure to fulfil its promises. This Government doesn’t just lay the foundation stone of any project; it makes sure to inaugurate it. 

This thermal power project will ensure Odisha gets round-the-clock electricity supply and also open up employment opportunities for the youth.”

The NLC India Talabira Thermal Power Project (TTPP), an initiative by NLC India Ltd., a Navratna Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Coal, is set to revolutionise the energy landscape of the nation. 

With an estimated investment exceeding Rs 27,000 Crore, this coal-based Ultra Super Critical Pit Head Thermal Power Project signifies a monumental step towards fostering energy security and driving the nation’s growth trajectory. 

The project, which encompasses a 2,400 MW capacity in its initial phase and plans for an additional 800 MW in the second phase with an investment of over Rs 8,000 Crore, is poised to become the largest Greenfield Pithead Thermal Power Station in the country.  

As in the recent past, leveraging on the advantages of a pit-head location, the project will employ an eco-friendly conveyor system for coal transportation from adjacent Talabira II and III operational mines of NLC India Ltd., thus ensuring cost-effectiveness.
