Bandel Thermal Power Station

Bandel Thermal Power Station is a coal-based power plant situated on the western bank of Hooghly River at Tribeni, a neighbourhood in Bansberia, near Bandel, in the Indian state of West Bengal, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) off the Grand Trunk Road/ NH 19 (old numbering NH 2). The power plant is operated by the West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL). At the time of its commissioning in 1983, its Unit-5 was first of its kind in Eastern India and fifth in India. Operations The power station has 3 operational units with a total installed capacity of 335 MW (2x60, 1x215 MW). The electricity generated is distributed by WBSEDCL to the residents of West Bengal (excepting Kolkata). All of the units are coal based thermal power stations. During the fiscal year 2006-07 the plant consumed a total of 1.68 million metric tons (1.85 million short tons) of coal. The coal required by the power station is supplied by Coal India Limited. 90% of the coal requirement is sourced from indigenous mines and the remaining 10% is imported. Coal is transported to the power plant by Indian Railways. The average plant load factor of Bandel Thermal Power Station for the fiscal year 2011-12 was 47.11%. Its auxiliary power consumption for the fiscal year 2011-12 was between 11.51%, which is greater than the national average of 8.44%. Future developments Bandel Thermal Power Station Unit-5 (215 MW) is selected for the Coal Fired Generation Rehabilitation Project funded by World Bank for demonstrating Energy Efficiency Rehabilitation & Modernization (EE R&M). As a part of this project, World Bank has earmarked US$180 million of IBRD loan and US$37.9 million of GEF grants for the Component-1. WBPDCL has signed a contract with M/s Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Company, Korea (DHIC) and their associate on February 29, 2012, for energy efficiency renovation & modernization of Unit-5 of Bandel Thermal Power Station.

Barh Super Thermal Power Station

Barh Super Thermal Power Station or NTPC Barh is situated at Barh, in the Patna District, in the Indian state of Bihar. NTPC Barh is located barely four kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the Barh sub-division on National Highway-31 in Patna district. The project has been named a mega power project, and is owned by Indian energy company National Thermal Power Corporation. As of July 2025, both the 1,320 MW (2 x 660 MW) Stage-2 built by BHEL and the 1,980 MW (3 x 660 MW) Barh Stage-1 have started full commercial operations. Russian firm Technopromexport (TPE) was awarded a contract to provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for stage one development in May 2005. However, the contract was terminated in 2014 due to contractual disputes. NTPC awarded a £205m ($294m) contract to Korean firm Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction to design, produce and install three 660 MW boilers for stage one in January 2016. Bihar's share is 1183 MW from NTPC Barh (26% from stage 1 and 50% from stage 2). The project has been contested as it is nearby Himalayan Range and needs stricter anti-pollution controls. The main power plant and the township is spread over an area of 1,186 acres (480 ha) of land, which includes 12 villages. The then Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had laid the foundation stone of the main plant of stage-1 of NTPC Barh on March 6, 1999. The formal inauguration of its site office and laying of the foundation stone of the training centre at the plant site was done in September 2003. Project cost The plant is to produce 3,300 MW of power at a cost of over ₹26,000 crore. The total approved cost of stage-1 (660 MW x 3) has ₹8,692.97 crore. The total approved cost of stage-2 (unit 1) plant is ₹7,688.12 crore. Capacity Unit-1 of stage-2 commissioned in November 2013. Unit-2 of stage-2 commissioned in March 2015. The first unit (of stage-I) of NTPC Barh is expected to start generation from December 2019 instead of the scheduled August 2020, while the second and third units of stage-I will be made operational in December 2020 and August 2021, respectively. Inland Waterways Authority of India received bids in 2013 September for coal movement on 1620 km National Waterway 1 (India) from Haldia to NTPC's Barh which is about 1,000 km (620 mi) away. Currently, coal for the power plant is transported from Jharkhand via rail. Boiler balance work of Stage-I The boiler balance work of Stage-I (3 × 660 MW)(BSTPP) was allotted to Doosan Power Systems India Ltd, (Korea) Company in January 2016. The work is under contract with Power Mech Projects Ltd. Flue gas desulphurisation addition As per MOEF guidelines of Dec-2015 NTPC decided to add FGD units to all units to limit SOX emissions. BHEL was awarded the contract to supply FGD units. References External links NTPC Barh website Archived 8 January 2015 at the Wayback Machine BSTPP Video

Muzaffarpur Airport

Muzaffarpur Airport (IATA: MZU, ICAO: VEMZ) is located in Muzaffarpur in the state of Bihar, India. The airport is situated at Patahi and is owned and operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). The airport was originally constructed to facilitate the arrival of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. Between 1967 and 1982, the airport handled regular flight operations connecting Muzaffarpur with Patna. Pre Feasibility Study & Master Plan Feasibility of Proposal - Preliminary visual assessment indicates that operationalisation of Patahi Airport under ARC-2B and ARC-3C is technically feasible. Land Requirements - Operationalisation of Patahi Airport under ARC-2B will require no additional land from the State Government. However, for ARC-3C under VFR would require 228 acres of additional land, with a further 90 acres needed for upgradation to ARC-3C under IFR. This is subject to the favourable outcome of the OLS and LiDAR surveys, removal of obstacies, compliance with the observations of this report, GSR-751(E)/GSR-770(E), other statutory directives of the Government of India, NCAP-2016 of MoCA, and necessary clearances from the MoEF&CC and other relevant Ministries. Runway Characteristics - For ARC-2B - Runway 11/29 of 1050m x 30m having suitable PCR value at the location of existing brick runway. For ARC-3C - Runway 11/29 of 1800m x 45m having suitable PCR value at the location of runway proposed in the Master Plan document, shared with State Govt. vide AAl letter dated 24 May 2024. Airspace - VFR operations at Patahi Airport appears to be feasible considering the current airspace classification and surrounding terrain conditions. The design and implementation of Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) appears to be technically feasible at Patahi Airport. However, an OLS survey needs to be carried out for the final assessment of feasibility of IFP. Site Surroundings & Site Topography - OLS survey would require to be conducted to identify existing obstacles that need to be removed, lowered, or marked to ensure safe operations and also to create a series of surfaces that define the airspace around the airport, including approach and departure surfaces, transitional surfaces, and horizontal surfaces. UDAN Scheme Expansion in Bihar The Government of India approved the operation of small aircraft services from seven cities in Bihar under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) regional connectivity scheme to enhance air connectivity and promote regional development. To support the initiative, the central government allocated approximately ₹190 crore for the development and operationalisation of airports at Birpur, Supaul, Saharsa, Madhubani, Munger, Muzaffarpur (Patahi Airport), Purnia and Valmikinagar. The airport infrastructure development is being executed by the Airports Authority of India, and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is to be signed between the Bihar state government and AAI for project implementation.

Mont Sammeda

Le Mont Sammeda appelé aussi Mont Sammeta ou encore Sammed Shikharji est un haut lieu de pèlerinage du jaïnisme. Situé dans les Montagnes Parasnath dans le district de Giridih dans l'état de l'Inde du Jharkhand, ce lieu est célèbre pour avoir été le théâtre de l'illumination de vingt Tirthankaras: les Maîtres éveillés, sur les vingt-quatre ayant vécu dans notre époque. Cette série de monts culmine à 1350 mètres. Bien que les deux branches du jaïnisme se disputent les territoires de cette chaîne montagneuse, les pèlerins vont dans des temples où les deux courants se rejoignent pour prier. Les vingt Tirthankaras ont au moins tous un temple qui leur est personnellement dédié sur cette montagne. Références Portail du monde indien Portail du jaïnisme
