'''Ukai Thermal Power Station''' of the [[Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited]], [[India]], is a power station with an installed capacity of 1,110 MW. It is one of [[Gujarat]]'s major [[coal]]-fired power plants, located on the bank of the [[Tapti River|Tapi]] river.

==Power plant==
Ukai Thermal Power Station is located on the banks of the [[Tapti River|Tapi]] because of the water resources, along with the hydroelectric power plant with the same name.<ref name="gsecl">{{cite web|url=http://www.gsecl.in/ukai.htmlhttp://www.gsecl.in/index.php/business/powergeneration#collapseOne|title=GSECL|publisher=Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref> Ukai TPS Unit-1 is the first power station unit in India with a capacity more than 100 MW.

==Transport==
It is on the [[Bhusawal-Kalyan section|Jalgaon-Surat branch line]] of [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]]. Coal-based thermal power stations consume large quantities of coal.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.citizenscoalcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/TypicalCoalFiredPowerPlant.pdf | title = Diagram of a typical coal-fired thermal power station | access-date = 21 April 2013 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140211074958/http://www.citizenscoalcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/TypicalCoalFiredPowerPlant.pdf | archive-date = 11 February 2014 }}</ref> For example, the Ukai Thermal Power Station consumed 3,200,000 tonnes of coal in 2006–07.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.cea.nic.in/reports/yearly/thermal_perfm_review_rep/0607/Section-9.pdf | title = Coal supply to various power stations | access-date = 21 April 2013 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140531090331/http://www.cea.nic.in/reports/yearly/thermal_perfm_review_rep/0607/Section-9.pdf | archive-date = 31 May 2014 }}</ref> Around 80 per cent of the domestic coal supplies in India are meant for coal based thermal power plants and coal transportation forms 42 per cent of the total freight earnings of Indian railways.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.miningweekly.com/article/indian-railways-cil-to-collaborate-for-additional-coal-transport-capacity-2013-02-14 |title = Indian Railways, CIL to collaborate for additional coal transport capacity| publisher= Mining weekly.com, 14 February 2013| access-date = 21 April 2013}}</ref>
