Overview:

Sit­u­ated on the west­ern bank of Bha­gi­rathi River, Ban­del Ther­mal Power Sta­tion is just 1 Km from the Assam Road and con­nected with a heavy duty metalled road 3 km off the Grand trunk Road, NH2. Ban­del Ther­mal Power Station’s near­est rail­head is Tribeni on the Bandel-​Katwa-​Azimgunj Line under East­ern Railways.

Suc­cess­fully meet­ing the power sec­tor demand for the State for more than four decades, Ban­del Ther­mal Power Sta­tion still remains a promi­nent player in the states power sup­ply chain. Ban­del Ther­mal Power Station’s fifth unit with a capac­ity of 215 MW installed in 1982, was first of its kind in East­ern India & fifth in India. Today, with three oper­a­tional units the total installed capac­ity of the sta­tion stands at 335 MW.
