emission,
SPM emissions at stack, Fly Ash Utilisation and
Effluent Discharge etc. In all, 31 TPSs submitted
the requisite information which was scrutinized
and evaluated as per the Award Assessment
Criteria laid down. Based on the evaluation
carried out, Budge Budge TPS of M/s. CESC
Ltd. was adjudged as the best performing power
station from the point of view of environment
management.
