- d.Farakka
No option is correct as printed — this question is disputed. WBPSC awarded the mark to all candidates: the largest thermal power station in West Bengal is Mejia (DVC, about 2,340 MW), which is not an option.
None of the options names the largest thermal power station in West Bengal, so the Commission awarded the mark to all candidates. The largest is the Damodar Valley Corporation's Mejia Thermal Power Station in Bankura district, with about 2,340 MW, which is not listed. NTPC's Farakka station in Murshidabad district (2,100 MW) comes next and is the largest of the options, while Kolaghat in Purba Medinipur has about 1,260 MW. Bandel in Hooghly is one of the state's oldest plants.
