A power station, also referred to as a power plant or powerhouse and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Most power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into electrical power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electrical current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Others use nuclear power, but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric.

Hey mate, here is your answer :
The total installed power station capacity in India as on June 29, 2016 is 303,083 MW with sector wise & type wise break up as given below.
More information: Sub-Total Renewable, Sector …
@The break up of other renewable energysources (RES) is: wind power (28,700.44 MW), Solar power (9,012.69 MW), Biomass power & gasification (7,856.94 MW), small hydro(4,333.86 MW), Waste-to-energy (114.08 MW).
For the state wise allocation of the installed utility power capacity, refer to States of India by allocated power capacity.
The following lists name many of the power stations in India.
Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant with installed capacity of 2,000 MW. This station may be expanded to 6,800 MW capacity.
Conventional
Nuclear power
Main article: Nuclear power in India
Nuclear power is the fourth -largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydroelectricand renewable sources of electricity. As of 2016, India has 21 nuclear reactors in operation at seven sites, having an installed capacity of 6680 MW. and producing a total of 30,292.91 GWh of electricity 11 more reactors are under construction to generate an additional 8,100 MW.
All the twenty one nuclear power reactors with an installed capacity of 6,680 MW equal to 2.0% of total installed utility capacity, are operated by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India. India ranked seventh in number of operated reactors (21) and fourteenth in total installed capacity.

Thermal power station
Thermal power is the "largest" source of power in India. There are different types of thermal power plants based on the fuel used to generate the steam such as coal, gas, and Diesel,natural gas. About 71% of electricity consumed in India are generated by thermal power plants.
Coal
More than 62% of India's electricity demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operating coal-based thermal power plants. Apart from NTPC and other state level operators, some private companies are also operating the power plants. Here is some list of operating coal-based thermal power plants in India.
