Neyveli Thermal Power Station is a power plant situated near lignite mines of Neyveli. It consists of two units capable of producing 600 MW and 1,470 MW respectively. It is operated by Neyveli Lignite Corporation. Neyveli Thermal Power Station is the South Asia's first and only lignite fired thermal plant, and also the first pit-head power station in India.[1][2]
The Neyveli Thermal Power Station I has configuration of 600 MW (6x50-MW units and 3x100-MW units). All these units were commissioned between May 1962 and September 1970.[1] The plant is equipped with boilers from the Taganrog Metallurgical Plant, turbines from LMZ and generators from Electrosila, imported from the Soviet Union under Indo-Soviet assistance programme.[1][3] It was planned that the Neyveli Thermal Power Station I will be decommissioned between 2011 and 2014; however, in 2011 the period of operations was extended for five years.[4]
The 1470 MW (7x210 MW) Neyveli Thermal Power Station II was built in two stages. At the first stage between March 1986 and March 1988 three units with capacity of 210 MW each were commissioned. Boilers were supplied by Ganz-Danubius and generators were supplied by Franco Tosi. At the second stage from March 1991 to June 1993 four units with the same capacity, supplied by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, were added.[1][3]
