Mundra Thermal Power Station is located at Mundra in Kutch district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The power plant is one of the coal-based power plants of Adani Power. The coal for the power plant is imported primarily from Bunyu, Indonesia.[1] Source of water for the power plant is sea water from the Gulf of Kutch.

It is the world's 11th-largest single location coal-based thermal power plant as well as India's second largest operational power plant after NTPC Vindhyanchal.[2]

Capacity

[edit]

The plant has nine power generating units, unit# 5 to 9 involves super-critical boiler technology.

In July 2012 Adani Power have requested Central Electricity Regulatory Commission to increase the power tariff due to increase in price of coal imported from Indonesia.[3]
