Ballarpur Bilt Power - 67.5 MW Coal Power Plant in India

Ballarpur Bilt Power is a coal-fired power plant located in India, with coordinates 19.8601° N, 79.3421° E. The facility has a capacity of 67.5 MW and is owned by Ballarpur Industries Ltd. It is currently operational, playing a role in the regional power supply. As a coal-based plant, Ballarpur Bilt Power operates within India's regulatory framework for thermal power generation, which includes emission standards set by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). The plant's capacity of 67.5 MW places it in the small-to-medium scale category for coal power plants in India. The plant's environmental impact is associated with coal combustion, which releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Its location in a rural area may reduce direct exposure to dense populations, but regional air quality considerations remain relevant. The facility contributes to grid stability and local employment, supporting industrial activities in the region.

The plant's coal-fired operations generate emissions typical of the sector, including carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Its location in a less densely populated area may moderate local exposure, but regional air quality and water usage for cooling are environmental considerations. The plant's age and technology level influence its efficiency and emission profile, with older subcritical units generally having higher emissions per MWh.
