The Gidderbaha Thermal Plant is a proposed 2,640 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Punjab, India. And this plant is handled by NTPC.

The project is located in Ghagga village near Gidderbaha town in the Muktsar District. The map below shows the location of Ghagga but not the exact location of the project.

With the land acquisition for Punjab’s 2,640 MW Gidderbaha Power Plant underway, the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has given the timeline of March 2015 for commissioning of first unit (660 MW) of the plant. The state is expected to be entitled to 50 per cent allocation of power from the plant

But The National Thermal Power Corporation was delayed construction for over a year because it has yet to obtain statutory clearances from the power ministry and the pollution control board, and to establish a coal linkage.
