New Delhi: THDC India Limited (THDCIL) has successfully synchronised the second 660 MW unit of its Khurja Super Thermal Power Project (STPP) in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, with the national grid. The milestone was achieved on August 28, marking another key step towards full commissioning of the 1,320 MW (2x660 MW) project.
The first unit of the plant began commercial operations in January 2025. With the synchronisation of Unit-2, the state-run power producer is closer to achieving full capacity at the Rs 13,000-crore project.
“This synchronisation marks a decisive step towards commissioning the entire 1,320 MW Khurja project, reaffirming THDCIL’s commitment to strengthening India’s power generation capacity and expanding its energy portfolio,” said R K Vishnoi, Chairman and Managing Director, THDCIL.
The Khurja STPP, whose foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March 2019, is spread across 1,200 acres. It is an integrated coal-based thermal power plant with coal linkage from the Amelia mine in Singrauli district.
Equipped with new-age technologies such as Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD), the plant is designed to minimise the environmental impact of coal-based generation by reducing sulphur emissions and improving air quality.
Headquartered in Rishikesh, THDCIL, a subsidiary of NTPC, operates a diverse portfolio of thermal and renewable power projects across Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Kerala.
