The Centre has set December-end as the fresh deadline for the commencement of the first 660 MW unit of the belated under-construction 1,980 MW supercritical thermal plant at Ghatampur in Kanpur.
People aware of the development said that coal secretary Amrit Lal Meena on Friday held a high-level meeting in Delhi to review the progress of the upcoming plant and directed the officials concerned to expedite the plant that was already running much behind the schedule.
“The company setting up the plant in Ghatampur was asked to expedite things to ensure operation of the first unit at the earliest.
