Tilaiya Ultramega Power Project is located in the state of Jharkhand. It is a 3960 (6x660) MW Integrated Thermal Power Project.

Ramagundam Power Plant is famous for producing thermal power. The total capacity of the plant is 2600 MW. The plant is located in Karim Gar, Telangana. This is India's first ISO 14001 certified 'Super Thermal Power Station".

The Kovvada Nuclear Park project is proposed to be set up in the state of Andhra Pradesh. 7248 MW (6*1208 MW) of electricity will be generated at this project. Production is likely to start here in the year 2031.

Vijayawada is not a nuclear power plant site in India. However, Dr Narla Tata Rao Thermal Power Station or Vijayawada Thermal Power Plant is located at Vi- jayawada in Andhra Pradesh. In a nuclear plant, the heat source is from the nuclear reaction, whereas in a thermal power plant, it is from coal combustion. List of 7 operational power plants in India

The total power generation from April 2014 to March 2015 was 1048.403 Billion Units. It had the highest share of thermal energy. As on March 31, 2023, the total installed power capacity in India is 41605 MW. Out of which the share of thermal energy is 237269 MW (57.7%), hydro energy is 46550 MW (11.3%) and nuclear energy is 6,780 MW (160)

The turbine in a hydroelectric station is driven by the flow of water. When water is dropped from a height, the water exerts pressure on the turbine fans, causing them to move. In this process, electricity is produced. Dams are built to make the water fall from a height.

Currently, coal is the major input for energy production in India. As on March 31, 2023, coal (49.3%), lignite (1.6%), gas (6%), diesel (0.1%) and nuclear fuel (1.6%) account for the installed electricity capacity in India. Total installed capacity in India is 416059 MW

Naharkatiya Nonmati-Barauni Pipeline was the first crude oil pipeline built in India. Oil is supplied by a 443 km long pipeline from the oil wells of Assam to the Nonamati oil refinery. This pipeline has been extended up to Barauni. The total length of the pipeline is 1167 km.
