CPCB stops Parli units 6 and 8
Change
On February 5, the Central Pollution Control Board directed Maharashtra authorities to stop operation of units 6 and 8 at Parli Thermal Power Station.
Why it matters
The Central Pollution Control Board communicated the stop order to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board on February 5. A 2015 notice required installation of Online Continuous Emission and Effluent Monitoring Systems at the plant. A 2018 inspection found non-compliances and prompted a closure direction; a May 2025 inspection found units 6, 7 and 8 operational despite that direction. The Consent to Operate for units 6–8 expired in December 2024 and measured PM emissions for units 6, 7 and 8 were 87 mg/Nm3, 85 mg/Nm3 and 91 mg/Nm3, respectively, above the 50 mg/Nm3 limit.
Implications
- — Units 6, 7 and 8 are operating without a valid Consent to Operate after December 2024.
- — Recorded PM emissions for units 6, 7 and 8 exceed the 50 mg/Nm3 regulatory limit (87, 85 and 91 mg/Nm3).
