New Delhi, Nov. 27: The government’s ambitious mega-power-project programme has been hit by problems relating to land acquisition, coal supply and environment.
Officials in the power ministry said the Tamil Nadu government was finding it difficult to acquire land at a reasonable rate for the Cheyyur project, prompting it to rein in on plans for a second project.
Maharashtra, too, is finding the going tough with land, while the Karnataka government is facing a barrage of criticisms on environment for its Tadri project.
