Three coal-blocks (Meenakshi-A, Meenakshi-B and Meenakshi Dipside) have been allocated to the 3960Mw/4000 Mw Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP) in Odisha that is an initiative of the Central Government. Two coal-blocks (Manoharpur and Manoharpur Dipside) have been allocated to the 1320 Mw power plant of the Orissa Power Generation Corporation (OPGC). One coal-black (Dulanga) has been allocated to NTPC’s 1600 Mw power plant. All the six coal-blocks are part of the Ib Valley coalfield and only one (Meenakshi-A) is presently in the “go” area, the other five being in “no go” areas.
