India to inject $232m to develop supercritical technology for thermal plants

This is in line with its goal to slash coal consumption.

The Indian government finally gave its nod to a proposal to invest $232m in research and development to develop Advanced Ultra Super Critical technology for thermal power plants.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Indira Gandhi Centre of Atomic Research (IGCAR) and National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) are the three government agencies that pushed this proposal forward.

The project aims to develop the technology that will consequently cut coal consumption in thermal power plants and reduce CO2 emission.

AUSC technology will help Indian firms design and build highly efficient coal plants using locally developed technologies.

Indian government said in a statement: “The proposed technology is still in research stage in all countries working on it. It is still not matured and demonstrated anywhere in the world."
