The coal for the power plant is sourced from Saoner and Dumri Khurd mines of Western Coalfields Limited (WCL).Mainly coal transport through the Indian Railways. Now coal India has opened many mines in nearby areas and these mines are also providing coal to the power plant, specially to the new power plant which is of 500 MW.[1] Source of water for the power plant is from Pench reservoir through a pond of Koradi Thermal Power Station (KTPS).
