 The power plant permanently shut down on 15 October 2018

According to a 2015 study by the Centre for Science and Environment, The Badarpur Power
Plant was the most polluting power plant in India. The plant contributed only 8% of the Delhi's
electric power but produced 30%-40% of the city's particulate matter pollution from the energy
sector.[7]
During the Great smog of Delhi, the power plant was shut down to alleviate the acute air pollution
suffered by residents of the city. It was restarted on 16 March 2017. Environment Pollution
Prevention and Control Authority (EPCA) has proposed to close down the plant by July 2018.

 The shutdown date was delayed until October due to delays in the construction of a necessary
substation and was shut down permanently on 15 October 2018.
