The Centre has clarified that it is prepared to take up the second phase of the 4,000 MW thermal power project being set up by the National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) at Ramagundam if the State government signs a power purchase agreement with the NTPC.
The Union Power Ministry said the first phase of 1,600 MW had been commissioned but the work on the second phase is not being taken up at present as there is no requirement of power in the State till 2020. The Union Ministry gave this clarification at a high level meeting convened by the Ministry of Home Affairs in New Delhi last month.
The high level meeting was convened to review the status of implementation of the provisions under the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
