Kalisindh Thermal Power Station is a 1200MW coal-fired power station located in Rajasthan state in western India. It is located 12 km away from Jhalawar town in Jhalawar district. It consists of two 600MW generating units that were commissioned in 2014. The power station is operated by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL).

Water for the plant is provided by the Kalisindh Dam reservoir, near Bhanwarasi village.^[1] Coal for the station will be sourced from Paras east and Kanta basin coal blocks in Chhattisgarh state.^{[citation needed]}

Its chimney has a height of 275 metres (902ft). When they were built in 2012, the plant's two 202-metre (663ft) cooling towers were the world's tallest, slightly taller than the 200-metre (656ft) cooling tower at Niederaussem Power Station in Germany, which was completed in 2002 and previously held this record.^[2] However, Pingshan Power Station's Unit 2 has since exceeded this, and its 210-metre (689ft) tall cooling tower is the world's tallest as of January 2025. The EPC contractor for the project is BGR Energy Systems Ltd.^[1]
