Nuclear

Nuclear poweris the fourth-largest source ofelectricityinIndiaafterthermal,hydroandwind power.[1]As of 2010, India had 19 nuclear power reactors in operation generating 4,560 MW while 4 other are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 2,720 MW.[2]

Nineteen nuclear power reactors operated at six sites by theNuclear Power Corporation of Indiaproduce 4,560.00 MW, 2.9% of total installed base.[3]

Thermal Power

Thermal poweris the largest source of power inIndia.There are different types ofThermal power plantsbased on thefuelused to generate the steam such ascoal,gas,Dieseletc. About 75% of electricity consumed inindiaare generated byThermal powerplants.

CoalorLigniteBased

More than 50% of india's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vastcoalreserves. Public sector undertakingNational Thermal Power Corporationand several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operatingcoalbased Thermal Power Plants.Apart fromNTPCand other state level operators, some private companies are also operating the power plants. Here is some list of currently operatingCoalbasedThermal powerplants inIndia. As on July 31, 2010, and as per the Central Electricity Authority the total installed capacity ofCoalorLignitebased power plants in india are 87093.38 MW.[4]
