Nabinagr Thermal Power Project

Bhartiya Rail Bijlee Company Limited is joint venture of NTPC Limited and Indian Railways installed 1000 MW Thermal Power Project at Nabinagar in Aurangabad district,in Indian state Bihar.The equity portions of NTPC and Indian Railways will be 74 per cent and 26 per cent respectively.The Railways observed that this is also the need of the hour especially in view of the demands of a globalising economy and mega projects of the Railways such as the planned Dedicated Freight Corridors across the country.The electricity from this plant will be utilized by Indian Railways for running electric trains in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhatisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in the eastern and western regions of the country. The Union Cabinet has, in view of the unreasonably high tariff charged by SEBs, approved Railways’ proposal for availing direct power supply from Central generating agencies from the 15 per cent unallocated central share of power.Railways are saving about Rs. 50 crore per annum due to implementation of these schemes for availing direct power supply from NTPC/Central generating agencies.^[1][2]
