This project cannot finish by 2013, as project has not obtained all clearance.

The NLC power project also will miss the 2012 dates.

I have done a compilation of all thermal plants coming up around tuticorin sometime back... will repost it and try it make some latest updates...

1. Tuticorin Thermal Power Station (TTPS)

Location : Near Tuty Port
Capacity : 1050 MW (5 X 210 MW)
Status : Fully Operational
Last expansion on 1992
Coal transported by conveyor from Port
Proposed Expansion by another 1000 MW was shelved.

2. Ind Barath

Location : Within 2 Kms from bypass road junction on Madurai Road, approximately 28 Kms from Port
Capacity : 210 MW (some reports have 126 / 189 MW , confirmed capacity awaited)
Status : Trial Runs ongoing, operational in the month of May 2010 (this month)
Coal requirement will be transported by road.


3. Neyveli TamilNadu Power Ltd (NTPL)

Location : Near Tuty Port, besides TTPS
Capacity : 1000 MW (2 X 500 MW)
Status : Construction in progress, Operational by 2012
Coal to be transported by conveyor from Port

4. Coastal Energen (Mutiara Thermal Power Plant)

Location : 3 Kms Off ECR, approx 30 KMs from Tuty Port
Capacity : 1200 MW (2 X 600 MW)
Status : Construction in progress, Operational by 2012
Coal likely to be transported by road from Tuty Port
Expansions plans to 3600 MW plant

5. Sterlite Captive Thermal Plant
Location : On Madurai By-pass Road near Milavittan Railway Station or Sterlite Complex, Approx of 18 Kms from Tuty Port
Capacity : 160 MW (2 x 80 MW)
Status : Construction in progress, Operational by 2011
Coal likely to be transported by road (possibility of rail also)

6. Ind Barath
Location : Near Ottapidaram, Approx 25-30 Kms from Tuty Port
Capacity : 450 MW (3 x 150 MW)
Status : In the progress of getting clearances, operational by 2012
Coal likely to be transported by road (possibility of rail also)

7. SPIC Electric Company
Location : Near Tuty Port, Site not known
Capacity : 525 MW (Not confirmed)
Status : In feasibility analysis, operational by ????
Coal likely to be transported by conveyor (not confirmed)

Total Capacity : 4595 MW
Operational : 1050 MW

Every 200 MW plant requires around 1 million ton of coal. By 2012, another 3000 MW will be operational requiring around 15 million tonnes of coal to be imported by Tuty port. Of which nearly 10 million tonnes will be transported by road. Clearly the Tuty by-pass road needs an expansion to 6-lane by 2012.

Then I need to make mention about the other projects in Tuty District
1. Udangudi Power Corporation Ltd
Location : Before Udangudi, 11-12 Kms from Tiruchendur in ECR to Kanniyakumari
Capacity : 1600 MW (3 x 800 MW)
Status : In the progress of getting clearances, operational by 2015
Coal likely to be transported by conveyor

2. Ind Barath
Location : Near Manapad (Approx 25-30 Kms from Tiruchendur in ECR to Kanniyakumari)
Capacity : 1320 MW (2 x 660 MW)
Status : In the progress of getting clearances, operational by 2015
Coal likely to be transported by conveyor

There is also likelihood of another power plant proposal near Vembar (50 KMs from Tuty in ECR Road to Ramanathapuram), this is unconfirmed news but some kind of preliminary work is going on.

I will be updating the list whenever we get any status update on the above projects.

Cheers !

Coastal Regulation Zone Information
of Tamil Nadu

Coastal Regulation Zone of Tuticorin District:



Geographic Location:

Tuticorin district coast extends from Vembar to south of Manappad. Geographically it is located between 8� 9'00''-9� 7'30'' N latitude and 78� 2'30''-78� 25'00''E longitude. This district covers an area of 4,621sq.km.

Fig: Coastal Regulation Zone Information of Tamil Nadu : Tuticorin District

Physiography:

There are two physiographic features in the coast of Tuticorin district. That is in the coastal belt between Vembar to Thiruchendur, there are raised beaches with sand bars parallel to the present coastline. The sand bars are trend towards north to south direction. In the coastal area between Thiruchendur to Manappad , there are sanddune and terridune complexes.

Geology:

The stretch comprises mainly of Archeans Quaternary and recent geological formations.

Geomorphology:

The following coastal geomorphologic features commonly occur in the coast.


*Beach
*Beach ridges
*Cliffed coast.
*Sand dunes
*Beach Terraces
*Spits
*Caspates

*Salt marsh
*Terrisand

The coast line from Vembar to Tiruchendur is developed by sediment accretion except for the Thiruchendur and Manappad which have cliffed coast resulting from erosions of mounds of Quaternary sediments. South of Tuticorin, near the mouth of Korampallam odai, huge sand bar has developed into a northward trending beach cap 4km from the main shore. The south of Tiruchendur coastline is marked by a narrow beach, beyond which extends the coastal ridge from Manapadu to Kudangulam over which sand dunes and beach terraces have developed. The quaternary sandstones are exposed as wave cut platform the entire coast from Periyatalai to Uvari.

Natural Resources:
Water

Sedimentary formations are traversed in coastal area, comprising of sand, clay, sandstone, calcareous sand with shell inclusion, laterite, Archaean formation, granite gneisses, charnockite, pegmatite and quartzite. Dug cum bore wells and shallow tube wells are prominent in this area. The water table has been highly depleted due for extraction of ground water for irrigation.
Mineral
This coastal belt is rich in garnet, ilmenite and monazite sands. Near the mouth of Kallar and Vaipar river mouths concentrations of ilmenite and garnet sands are observed.
Flora and Fauna
From Surangudi to Tuticorin the sea is filled with occasional coral reefs and algal patches. There are submerged huge rocky patches which themselves form an ecosystem of algae, sea fans and pearl oysters. The coastal region between Vilathikulam, Ottapidaram and Srivaikundam taluks have extensive backwater areas. From Tuticorin to Chinnamuttam the coast is absolutely sandy and is the best nesting ground of sea turtles.

Human Settlements:

Tuticorin district comprises of nine-taluk viz. Tuticorin, Vilattikulam, Kovilpatti, Ottappidaram, Srivaikundam, Tiruchchendur, Sattankulam and sankarankovil. The important occupation of this district people is cultivation, fisheries and other marine related occupations. The total population of this district is 14,55,920 in this 7,09,760 are males and 7,46,160 are females.

Tourism:

Ayanar Sunai, Panchalam Kurichi, Kazhugumalai, Ettayapuram and Tiruchendur are important tourist spots in this district.

Industries:

This sector of Tamil Nadu coast entails major activities such as harbour fishing, salt production, shell fishing etc. The industrial activities include Fertilizer, Chemical units, Heavy water Project and Thermal power Station.

Climate:

The factors that influence the climate of this stretch are the two monsoon winds, the proximity of sea and the dwindling height of the Western Ghats. Due to the absence of hill ranges of considerable height, the monsoons do not precipitate heavy showers. The southwest monsoon also brings showers in the months of June and July and this season is locally called as Saral

After compiling everyone, I will post it in our power thread.

Many projects in Nagai and Cuddalore area looks to be mere paper project. But yet even if TN can make 25% of that 63,000MW by 2020 we will back in full swing for industrialization.

Un-interrupted power and also cheap tarric is the main key for fast industrialization.

Tuticorin-Dwarka express train (Vivek Express) services, which were announced in the current railway budget, will be introduced before March, 2012, A.K. Goel, Divisional Railway Manager, Southern Railway, Madurai, has said here on Friday.

After getting an approval from the Railway Safety Commissioner, the bypass railway line, which is adjacent to Vanchi Maniyachi, would be thrown open to passenger trains from Tuticorin to Tirunelveli and vice versa, he replied on a query.

Passage of trains along bypass track to Tirunelveli could reduce journey hours much to the likes of passengers, he said.

On electrification project for cargo trains, he said that erection of poles with power lines was at the nearing stage of completion but transformer facilities at power sub-stations had to be set up alongside, subsequently.

The project was likely to be commissioned after six months, he said. A team of track men had been involved in executing night patrol along railway tracks to avert any attempts of sabotage.

Surveillance had been increased onboard trains to ensure safety of passengers, Mr. Goel said. Mr. Goel along with officials, including T. Venkatasubramanian, Additional Divisional Railway Manager, and S.R. Raguraman, Senior Divisional Operating Manager, were at Milavittan railway station on the inauguration of railway siding project of Sterlite Copper.
