The Centre has set a December-end deadline for the first unit of the under-construction 1,980 MW thermal plant at Ghatampur in Kanpur. The Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Ltd is setting up the coal-fired power plant, with the first unit expected to be operational by November-end. The project has faced delays due to financial issues and disruptions caused by Covid-19 and farmer protests. 75% of the power produced by the plant will go to Uttar Pradesh, while the remaining 25% will be sold to Assam.
The Southern bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued a notice to Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) on reports of pollution risks in villages near to Neyveli Lignite Corporation of India Ltd (NLCIL).
