Durgapur Thermal Power Station is located near Waria Railway Station, 6 km from Durgapur railway station in West Bengal. The power plant is one of the coal based power plants of DVC.
DTPS was set up in the 1960s with two 75 MW units and one 140 MW unit in the first stage. Another 210 MW unit was added to the plant in the early 1980s to augment supplies to the growing industrial demand. The first 2 units of the Station had to be de-commissioned after a fire accident in 1985.[1]
