Udupi Power Plant is a coal based thermal power station in Karnataka, India, established in 2008. It is located to the north of Mangalore, west of Belmannu, and just to the northeast of Padubidri in the village of Yellur, Udupi district, close to the Shambhavi River, roughly 7 or 8 km (4.3 or 5.0 mi) from the coast from where the imported coal for the power plant is transported to plant through rail line.
The power station caused controversy as it was built within Kudremukh National Park and caused protests.[1]
