Mangalore Refinery Gas Power Plant | India Power Generation Facility

Mangalore Refinery is a gas-fired power plant located in India, with a capacity of 166.5 MW. The facility is owned by Mangalore & petrochem and is currently operational. As a gas power plant, it plays a role in India's energy mix, which is increasingly focused on natural gas as a cleaner alternative to coal. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for thermal power plants. India's power sector is regulated by the Central Electricity Authority and state-level bodies. The facility's location near the coast may influence its environmental context, with potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. As a medium-scale gas plant, it has a lower carbon footprint compared to coal plants of similar size. The plant supports grid stability and industrial demand in the region.

The plant uses natural gas, which produces lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal. Its proximity to populated areas and coastal ecosystems may require adherence to local environmental standards. The 166.5 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale range for gas power plants in India, with typical emissions subject to national air quality regulations.
