Ranchi: Production from Super Thermal Power Plant being built in North Karanpura of the state would commence from August 2020. The great done Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had laid the foundation for this plant which is based on coal and it is being built by NTPC. So far a sum of Rs 15300 crore has been spent on the plant and BHEL has been handed over the responsibility of commissioning of the plant.

Project head of the plant Ravi Kumar said that the construction of the plant also included construction of 9 chimneys of 90 meter high and air-cooled condenser which was itself a dangerous decision and pointed that the plant is being completed under a new time schedule.
