New UserResistance by local people stalls work at 2 UMPPs
10 Dec 2014
December 10: Site selection for ultra mega power projects (UMPPs) in Maharashtra and Karnataka has been held up because of resistance by local people even as the bid due date for the UMPPs in Odisha and Tamil Nadu has been fixed for January 7, 2015 and December 22, 2014 respectively, a government official said.
India had planned to set up nine UMPPs, four projects at pithead sites and five at coastal locations but, so far, only four projects have been awarded to developers, of which one is fully operational (Mundra- Gujarat) and another one (Sasan-Madhya Pradesh) will be fully operational soon, the official said.
Despite the award of projects, there is practically no progress of work at the UMPPs in Andhra Pradesh (Krishnapatnam) and Jharkhand (Tilaiya), the official added.
The present status and locations of these UMPPs are given below:
