Badarpur Thermal Power Station
INTRODUCTION
Badarpur Thermal Power Station (BTPS) was
established by the Government of India in the year
1967 to ensure power availability for meeting growing
demand of power in the Northern Region. The installed
capacity of BTPS is 720 MW consisting of 3x100
MW and 2x210 MW coal fired units. However, the 3
units of 100 MW each have been derated to 95 MW
w.e.f. 11.1.1990 making the present capacity as 705
MW. The station is owned by Government of India
and is being managed by NTPC since 1st April’1978
on an agency basis.
BTPS is one of the major sources of power supply
to Delhi state and since April’1987, the entire energy
generated at this station is supplied to the Delhi
Vidyut Board now called Delhi Transco Limited (DTL).
GENERATION ACHIEVED FOR 2003-04
The generation target for BTPS had been fixed at
5200 MUs at a PLF of 84.20% & Availability of
89.91% for the year 2003-04. Against this the
generation achieved was 5428 MUs at a PLF of
87.67% & availability factor achieved was 95.85%.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2003-04
The station achieved best performance levels
during 2003-04 in respect of Generation, Plant
Load Factor, Availability, Sp. Oil Consumption,
DM Make up water consumption& least forced
outages since inception.
Station has received ISO-9001:2000
certification valid upto 28.03.2006.
Station has achieved ISO-14001 (for
environment) valid upto 26th May’2004.
Five employees of BTPS received “Rashtriya
Vishwakarma Puraskaar” for the year 2001
from Labour minister, Govt. of India on
17th September 2003.
BTPS received Golden Peacock Award 2003
for Environmental Management.
RENOVATION & MODERNISATION PHASE-I
BTPS is one of the Thermal Power Stations
identified under the centrally sponsored scheme for
Renovation and Modernization of thermal utilities.
Under the Renovation & Modernization Scheme
Phase-I, various schemes for 3x100 MW of BTPS
for Rs.36.97 crores were approved. All of the works
under these schemes have already
been completed and an expenditure of Rs.36.97
crores has been incurred up to March’2002. With
implementation of R&M Phase-I schemes for
BTPS, the actual annual average PLF has improved
from 45.30% to 65.00% against the envisaged
improvement in PLF from 45.30% to 55%.

RENOVATION & MODERNISATION PHASE-II
Under R&M Scheme Phase-II programme, certain
areas were identified for carrying out further
modification. BTPS submitted a proposal for R&M
Phase-II for an estimated cost of Rs. 187.77 crores
(latest revised cost Rs.232.77 crores) for approval
covering all units of BTPS. Though the proposal
has been techno-economically cleared by CEA and
approved by PIB in April’1997, the scheme was
not cleared by Ministry of Finance. The scheme
mainly emphasizes on reduction in heat rate and
sustaining the present level of generation. The
scheme also covers various measures to ensure
best environmental norms in addition to increase
in the reliability of the units.
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR WORKS
Pending sanction/release of R&M Phase-II funds,
SFC schemes covering certain urgent works of
capital nature were identified jointly with CEA for
immediate implementation in the BTPS Units. Four
schemes (Replacement and Repair works I,II, III &
IV have been approved for execution during the
years 1998-2000, 2000-02, 2001-02 and 2003-04
at an estimated cost of Rs. 14.70 crores (SFC-I),
Rs. 14.91 crores (SFC-II) Rs. 14.95 crores
(SFC-III) and Rs.7.95 crores (SFC-IV) respectively.
An expenditure of Rs.14.70 crores have been
incurred till 31st March’2002 under R&R works - I
(SFC-I). Under R&R Works-II (SFC-II) schemes,
Rs.14.91 crores has already been spent till 31st March’2003. Also, an expenditure of Rs. 14.95
crores has been incurred till 31st March’2002 under
SFC-III schemes.
ASH UTILISATION
4,01,485 MT of ash was utilized during the financial
year 2003-04.
BTPS achieved a progress of 14.21 lakh bricks in
F.Y.2003-04. Bricks are being used in-house for
civil constructions in a big way. Ash bricks from
the station have been supplied in the past to IIT
Delhi, US Embassy, CPCB, CPWD and CBRI,
Roorkee for their construction works.
Dry ash bagging facility has been commissioned.
In F.Y. 2003-04, 97300 bags (containing 40 kgs
ash per bag totaling 3892 MT of ash) have been
issued to various agencies.
Another area of ash utilization is for filling up of
low-lying areas. For Noida-Greater Noida Express
Highway project, ash is being lifted from the station
for use in this project. DDA, MCD and other
neighbourhood people are also using ash from the
station for land filling.
