Explanation
The Bokaro Thermal Power Plant is located in Bokaro district in the state of Jharkhand. State-wise listings of thermal power plants explicitly include “Bokaro” under Jharkhand, identifying it as a Jharkhand thermal station [1]. District-level background materials for Bokaro also list Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) power installations in the district, naming Chandrapura Thermal, Bokaro Thermal and Bokaro Steel Thermal as local plants, confirming the plant’s presence within Bokaro district (Jharkhand) [2]. Additionally, DVC documentation describes Bermo coal operations as captive mines supplying the Bokaro Thermal Power Station in Bokaro district, further tying the plant to Jharkhand [3].
