Show answer
Correct answer: B. Uttar Pradesh

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Uttar Pradesh. The Ghatampur Thermal Power Project stands at Ghatampur in Kanpur Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh.

It is a coal-based plant of three units of 660 MW each, built by Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Limited, a joint venture of NLC India Limited and the Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam. It uses supercritical technology, which burns less coal for each unit of power, and most of its electricity goes to Uttar Pradesh. A paper setter links the place, Kanpur, with the state.

A is wrong: Bihar's large thermal plants include Barh, Kahalgaon and Nabinagar, not Ghatampur.

C is wrong: Madhya Pradesh is known for Vindhyachal, Satpura and Sasan, not Ghatampur.

D is wrong: Gujarat's big coal plants are at Mundra and Ukai; Ghatampur is not in Gujarat.

Exam tip: Ghatampur = Kanpur Nagar, Uttar Pradesh; a 3 × 660 MW NLC–UP joint venture.
