Major projects in Power sector

Tripura's power scenario is expected to get a major boost with the setting up of three gas-based thermal plants that are expected to turn around the state's economy. Three major thermal power projects totaling about 1,041 MW are now in the pipeline. Once power generation commences from these plants, Tripura will not only be self-sufficient, but could supply surplus power to other states

The major project is the 750 MW gas-based thermal power project at Palatana in south Tripura expected to be commissioned by 2009. The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has been assigned for the Rs.40 billion-Palatana project. After commissioning of the 750 MW project, there would be provision to increase the generation capacity to 1,100 MW,

There are two more power projects in the pipeline - a 280 MW thermal power project by the public sector North Eastern Electrical Power Corporation (NEEPCO) at Monarchak in west Tripura and a 21 MW gas-based unit at Baramura in west Tripura
