The 500 MW unit of Bokaro Thermal Power Station has been shut due to boiler tube leakage for last 8 days, though engineers from BTPS have already assessed the damage and are repairing the leakage. DVC chief engineer and project head Kamlesh Kumar said that the damaged tube of boiler side has been replaced while work at ash pond is going on but it will take some more time.
DVC sources said the power generation at the BTPS has come down to zero as 500 MW of its production unit closed down due to technical snag , causing loss of crores of rupees to the DVC every day.
