It is one of the coal-based power plants of NTPC. The coal for the power plant is sourced from Lingraj Block & Kaniha coal block of Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. The source of water for the power plant is Samal Barrage Reservoir on Brahmani River. The plant supplies power to the Indian states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana, as well as Bihar and West Bengal. The East South Interconnection of the Indian power grid starts from NTPC Kaniha and ends at Kolar in Karnataka. This being a DC link is one of its kind in India as until now there are only three installed HVDC systems in India.
