Question map
Which one among the following is NOT a beneficiary state from the Vindhyachal Power Plant of the NTPC ?
Explanation
The Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station, located in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the largest coal-fired power plants operated by NTPC [1]. Power generated from this station is primarily allocated to states and union territories in the Western Region of India. According to official records, the major beneficiary states include Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh, along with the Union Territories of Goa, Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli [1]. While Uttar Pradesh is a major state in the Northern Region and hosts other NTPC plants like Singrauli and Rihand, it is not a beneficiary of the Vindhyachal plant, which serves the Western grid [1]. Therefore, among the given options, Uttar Pradesh is the state that does not receive power from this specific facility.
