| No new projects for NPHC in Kashmir till old are returned, says Govt | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 30: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Thursday asserted it will not allow NHPC to establish new power projects in the state until the hydro-power body hands back the existing one.
Minister of State for Power Development Mohammad Ashraf Mir said that the government is seriously pursuing the issue of the return of the power projects from NHPC so that the state could become self sufficient in generating the power of its own. He said unless the NHPC hands over the older power projects to the state, there is no proposal of giving any new project to the corporation.
"Our stand is clear, we will get our projects back from NHPC and we are seriously pursuing the matter," Mir asserted. The state government had earlier maintained that the Cabinet Sub Committee (CSC) was constituted to look into various issues associated with transfer of power projects to State, which recommended seeking return of Salal, Uri-I and Dulhasti to the State apart from those transferred to NHPC vide MoU of July 2007.
J&K State Power Development Corporation (PDC) was authorized to work out the present cost of these projects on the basis of internationally accepted norms that would form the basis of further negotiations with Government of India/NHPC.
JKSDPC has been allocated coal block (Kundnali Lubri in Odisha) jointly with NTPC with an allocated geological reserve of 130 and 266 million tonnes respectively. |
