Neyveli Thermal Power Station is a set of power plant situated near

NLC
. The total installed capacity of this station is 3390 MW as of April 2021.

Neyveli Thermal Power Station I

The Neyveli Thermal Power Station I has configuration of 600 MW (6x50-MW units and 3x100-MW units). All these units were commissioned between May 1962 and September 1970. The plant is equipped with boilers from the

Electrosila
, imported from the
Neyveli Lignite Corporation's 58th Raising Day.[3]

Two units of 210 MW capacity each were also added under Stage I expansion which are under commercial operation.[citation needed]

After the construction of Neyveli New Thermal Power Station, the first units were decommissioned and only the two 210 MW units remain in operation.

Neyveli Thermal Power Station II

The 1470 MW (7x210 MW) Neyveli Thermal Power Station II was built in two stages. At the first stage between March 1986 and March 1988 three units with capacity of 210 MW each were commissioned. Boilers were supplied by

Ganz-Danubius and generators were supplied by Franco Tosi. At the second stage from March 1991 to June 1993 four units with the same capacity, supplied by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, were added.[citation needed
]

Under Stage II expansion, two units of 250 MW each were installed by BHEL. These units use circulating fluidised bed combustion (CFBC) boilers.[citation needed]

Neyveli New Thermal Power Station

It has two units of 500 MW.
