Answer 1

Answer:

D. NTPC Kayamkulam (Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Project)

• While KSEB owns the BDPP and KDPP (which are often decommissioned or used only for peak loads), the NTPC Kayamkulam power plant is a large central sector thermal station that supplies a significant quantum of power to the state under long-term power purchase agreements.
