New Delhi, February 21, 2015: Indian coal-based thermal power plants are some of the most inefficient in the world -- says a two-year long research study by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). The study, done under CSE’s Green Rating Project (GRP), is the first of its kind rating of this industrial sector for its environmental performance and compliance.
CSE analysed and rated 47 coal-based thermal power plants from across the country on a variety of environmental and energy parameters. About half of all the plants operating in 2011-12 were selected for the rating.
