More than 62% of India's electricity demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operating coal-based thermal power plants. Apart from NTPC and other state level operators, some private companies also operate the power plants. Although new plants are unlikely to be built, if more coal is burnt in existing plants it will increase greenhouse gas emissions by India. Here is some list of operating coal-based thermal power plants in India.
