Principal Scientific Advisor to Union Cabinet Dr R Chidambaram laid the foundation for India’s first power plant using the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) at Vijayawada Thermal Power Station (VTPS) — which will be the India’s first power plant using IGCC.

An Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, or IGCC, is a power plant using synthetic gas (syngas). This gas is often used to power a gas turbine generator whose waste heat is passed to a steam turbine system (Combined cycle gas turbine).
