Buxar TPP in Bihar Gets CCEA Nod

The Buxar Thermal Power Project (Buxar TPP) in Bihar has received approval from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

 

The approval has been sanctioned for two units of capacity 660 MW each. The project in Buxar district will be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 10,439.09 crore and implemented by SJVN Thermal, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJVN.

 

The Buxar TPP will be based on Supercritical Technology equipped with the latest emission control technology to protect the environment. It has high efficiency and uses less fuel to generate power. The Buxar TPP will improve the deficit power scenario in Bihar and Eastern region.

 

The government of Bihar has already signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for the supply of not less than 85 percent of generated power. The project is expected to generate substantial direct and indirect employment apart from various other socio-economic developments in the project area. The Buxar TPP will start yielding benefits from 2023-24.
