Coal India Ltd.

Coal India (CIL) has entered into a pact with Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) for setting up an ultra supercritical power plant in Jharkhand with a total investment of Rs 16,500 crore. Ultra-supercritical power plants operate at higher steam temperatures and pressures than supercritical plants, leading to improved efficiency and reduced emissions. 

The brownfield project will be an expansion of existing Chandrapura Thermal Power Station which at present operates with the capacity of 2x250 mw. Coal for the proposed power plants would be sourced from coalfields in the proximity from CIL's subsidiary companies Bharat Coking Coal and Central Coalfields. The pact also includes provisions to explore various opportunities for jointly developing thermal power projects and green energy projects, with or without storage, to meet the growing power demand in the DVC valley region. 

Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
