Angul Steel power station is a 810 MW coal power station in Odisha, India. It ranks #427 of 2,225 India power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 4,600,100 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 1.1 million cars driven for a year. In context, coal supplies about 70.8% of India's electricity; the national grid averages 670 gCO₂/kWh (26.7% low-carbon) (2025).

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.
