The Banswara power plant is a proposed 1320 megawatts (MW) plant being promoted by Rajasthan RV Utpadan Nigam (RVUN), the state utility. It is proposed to build the power plant in the village of Phefer, Banswara district, Rajasthan, India.
RVUN states that the Rajasthan government approved the project in June 2010 and agreed to provide 20% equity support for the project. RVUN stated that in July 2011 it made a presentation to the Ministry of Environment and Forests on the Terms of Reference on the Environmental Impact Statement on the project. He also stated that an application has been submitted to the Ministry of Coal for a coal liaison allocation and is currently being examined by the Central Electricity Authority. RVUN also notes that 2000 million cubic feet of water from the Mahi dam has been allocated for the project by the Rajasthan Water Resources Department.
RVUN points out that "there is no railway link between Ratlam - Banswara at present. The railway has announced to take the Ratlam - Dungarpur through the broad Banswara wide line in the railway budget 2011-12, 50% by a total Of approximately Rs 1,200 crores for the railway line and the acquisition of land will be assumed by GoR, Rs200 per RVUN in March 2011, as the advance and the balance will be given according to the demands of the railways, and it is expected that The MoU with GoR will be executed soon. "
A mandate for an EIA was granted in 2011 and extended in 2014. As of May 2016 the project has not yet received the environmental permit, and plans appear to be postponed or abandoned. It is not included in the list of "ongoing projects" on the RVUNL website.
