Power units face project cap
R. SURYAMURTHY
New Delhi, Nov. 15: The government is considering a cap on the number of mega power projects to be awarded to an industrial house.
Many companies have petitioned Union power minister Sushil Kumar Shinde for such a limit after Anil Ambani’s Reliance Power bagged the Sasan project in Madhya Pradesh, while emerging the lowest bidder for the Krishnapatnam project in Andhra Pradesh.
Reliance Power is also in the race for the Tilaiya project in Jharkhand.

Land hurdle to big power projects

Core issues
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.
