The energy capital powering India and poisoning its residents

Quick Summary:

India's super-polluter Vindhyachal plant experiments with carbon capture, but trial fails to appease local coal concerns.

The village of Chilika Daad lies only 4 km from Vindhyachal coal power plant run by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC Vindhyachal), one of the world’s top “super polluter” power plants.

The case led to coal mines and power plants installing anti-pollution measures and NTPC Vindhyachal told Context it was taking steps to make sure ash from the power plants does not contaminate the region’s water supplies.
