JSW Ratnagiri Power Plant

Ratnagiri Power Plant is a 1200 Megawatt coal fired plant in the state of Maharashtra in India. It is also the planned site for 3200 Megawatt expansion of power plant. The Ratnagiri power station is erected in Jaigad, in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. It is owned and operated by the JSW Energy, a firm managed by the Jindal family. The final unit started its commercial functioning in October 2011. The 3200 Megawatt Ratnagiri Power Station expansion has been projected by JSW Energy for the similar location.

Maharashtra is amongst India’s most developed states, and is supposedly seeking to make itself an "attractive investment destination" for manufacturers to retain its prevalence in the sector. In July 2011, JSW Energy said it was shelving expansion of its 3200 Megawatt coal plant in the Ratnagiri power station as it delays for coal-estimating “clearness” from Indonesia and Australia. In May 2011, agriculturalists marched to protest coal plants in Ratnagiri, in an area called as the Konkan Coast. They also protested with a hunger strike in against the construction of seven thermal power plants planned for the district.
