{{Show badges|CoalSwarm|navbar-Indiacoal}} The '''Gadarwara Super Thermal Power Project''' is a 1,600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station under development by [[NTPC]] in Madhya Pradesh, India. ==Location==The undated satellite photo below shows the plant in Gadarwara tehsil.{{#display_point:22.8617522, 78.8661289|width=600|height=500|type=satellite|zoom=17}} ==Background==An earlier proposal was for setting up 4 × 660 MW coal-based plants, but was later reduced Moved to 2 × 800 MW units covering 1350 acres. The projected coal requirement is 7.5 million tonnes a year (MTPA), with plans to obtain the coal from the Talaipalli coal block. Water requirement of 4675m3/hr will be sourced from the Narmada river through a pipeline at a distance of about 30 km from the project site.<ref name=EC>[http://bit.ly/1lvKxUH Environmental Clearance,] MoEF, March 22, 2013.</ref> Construction began in March 2014.<ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-ntpc-to-construct-2640-mw-power-plant-in-bundelkhand-1966319 "NTPC to construct 2,640 MW power plant in Bundelkhand,"] DNA.
