Additionally, the Prime Minister also initiated the 660 mw (Unit-2) segment of the North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project in Chatra, Jharkhand, identified as the nation’s pioneering Supercritical Thermal Power Project, featuring an Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) system on a significant scale, substantially minimizing water consumption compared to conventional Water-Cooled Condensers.
Furthermore, the PM dedicated the Fly Ash Based Light Weight Aggregate Plant in Sipat, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, and the STP Water to Green Hydrogen Plant in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The foundation stones were laid for several projects, including the Singrauli Super Thermal Power Project Stage-III (2×800 MW) in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, the Flue Gas CO2 to 4G Ethanol Plant in Lara, Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, the Sea Water to Green Hydrogen Plant in Simhadri, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and the Fly Ash based FALG Aggregate Plant in Korba, Chhattisgarh.
The Prime Minister inaugurated seven projects and laid the foundation stone for a project of Power Grid Corporation of India. Of the seven projects commissioned include the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation’s (NHPC’s) 380 mw Solar Project in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, expected to generate approximately 792 million units of green power annually, and Bundelkhand Saur Urja Limited’s (BSUL’s) 1200 mw Jalaun Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Park in Jalaun, Uttar Pradesh, expected to produce around 2400 million units of electricity each year.
Additionally, the Prime Minister inaugurated three solar power projects developed by Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) in Jalaun and Kanpur Dehat, Uttar Pradesh, collectively amounting to 200 mw capacity, and laid the foundation stones for others. He also inaugurated the Naitwar Mori Hydro Power station along with its associated transmission line in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, and laid the foundation stone for two solar projects of SJVN in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, and Dhubri, Assam, along with the 382 mw Sunni Dam Hydro Electric Project in Himachal Pradesh.
Furthermore, he laid the foundation stone for TUSCO’s 600 mw Lalitpur Solar Power Project in Lalitpur district of UP, anticipated to generate 1200 million units of green power annually. Additionally, the Prime Minister inaugurated ReNew’s Koppal-Narendra Transmission Scheme, with a capacity to evacuate 2500 mw of power from Renewable Energy sources, located in the Koppal district of Karnataka. Other significant power sector-related projects by Damodar Valley Corporation and IndiGrid were also inaugurated during the visit.
Beyond the power sector, the Prime Minister dedicated the newly electrified Ambari – Adilabad – Pimpalkhuti rail line to the nation and laid the foundation for two major National Highway projects connecting Telangana with Maharashtra and Telangana with Chhattisgarh through NH-353B and NH-163.
