Overview
Manglam Cement is a 25 MW coal power plant in India, owned by Manglam Cement Ltd. It is operational and contributes to the country's power generation mix.
Manglam Cement is a coal-fired power plant located in India, owned and operated by Manglam Cement Ltd. With a capacity of 25 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Indian power sector, which relies heavily on coal for electricity generation. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for coal power plants. Small coal plants in India often use subcritical technology. The plant's capacity places it in the small-scale category, typical for captive power plants serving industrial needs. As a coal-based facility, Manglam Cement contributes to local power supply but also has a carbon footprint. Its location in a cement manufacturing context suggests it may provide power for industrial processes. The plant's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to India's energy infrastructure.
Environmental context
The plant uses coal as fuel, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. Its small capacity (25 MW) limits overall emissions compared to larger plants, but coal combustion still contributes to local air quality concerns. Industrial zones often have mixed land use. India's regulatory framework for coal plants includes emission standards and environmental clearances.
