Tata Power has proposed modernisation of its 500 MW Unit 6 at Trombay Thermal Power Station. The plan includes addition of coal firing equipment and installation of pollution control equipment to make the unit work on coal, oil and gas, wherein all three fuels can be combined in any percentage.
This is being done to control spiralling oil cost, the company said. The proposed modernisation will improve utilisation of full capacity of 500 MW. It will also reduce fuel cost and help lower tariffs for Mumbai customers.
Tata Power is to invest around Rs 1,174 crore for the modernisation exercise, which will not result in any additional pollution or emission in the Chembur and nearby areas
of Mumbai.
