1,980 MW Ghatampur Thermal Power Project.
It was with the 765 kV grid at 00:05 hours today in a single go and well ahead of lead time required against the schedule after Steam Blowing milestone completion, NLC India Limited said in a regulatory filing today.
This successful synchronization marks a crucial step forward in NUPPL’s journey toward the Commercial Operation Declaration (COD), The achievement underlines NUPPL’s commitment to deliver 31.68 Million Units as reliable and sustainable power generation for the nation.

With Unit-1 already operational since December 2024, the synchronization of Unit-2 marks another major milestone towards project completion, with Unit-3 also expected to be commissioned in FY-25-26.
The Ghatampur Thermal Power Project, located in Ghatampur Tehsil, Kanpur Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, comprises three supercritical thermal power units of 660 MW each, totalling 1,980 MW.
The main plant boiler package is executed by M/s LMBPL, turbine package by M/s GEPSIPL and BOP package by M/s BGRESL. The project is designed to supply 75.12 per cent of its power (1,487.28 MW) to Uttar Pradesh and 24.88 per cent (492.72 MW) to the state of Assam. In addition to the power plant, NUPPL is also making strides in the development of the linked coal mine, Pachwara South Coal Block in Dumka District, Jharkhand, which will provide a sustainable source of fuel for the end-use Power Plant.
NUPPL’s commitment to environmental sustainability is exemplified by the plant’s state-of-the- art design, featuring supercritical boiler and turbine-generator sets, along with adherence to the latest environmental standards through the implementation of FGD (Flue Gas Desulphurization) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technologies, ensuring Zero Liquid Discharge.
With Unit-2 now synchronized, NUPPL is very close to the completion of commissioning activities for its Commercial Operation Declaration.
