Harduaganj Thermal Power Station Kasimpur is situated at about 18 kilometres from Aligarh Railway Station. It is sited at Kasimpur Power House Colony which is about one kilometre away from Harduaganj Railway Station in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the electric power station well-known in Aligarh district.

Harduaganj Thermal Power Station is commissioned in 29 February 1968. It has an approved capacity of 610 Megawatt and its installed capacity is 610 Megawatt. The status of the thermal power plant is Operational. The source of coal for the generation of power is from Coal Mines of BCCL, ECL by means of railway. The power plant used for the purpose is Base Load. The primary fuel used is coal and the secondary fuel used is Fuel Oil. The type of plant is Sub Critical Thermal.
