In context: how this plant compares
At 810 MW, Angul Steel power station is below the median coal plant in India (1,000 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
