NTPC’s maiden coal mine foray facing delays (The Hindu Business Line 26th Dec 2007)NTPC Ltd’s coal mining foray is in for delays, with the commissioning of the generation major’s first mine all set to miss a revised deadline of March 2008. Possession of land by NTPC for the project is running way behind schedule and a proposed railway linkage to be built for moving coal out of the mine is facing tardy progress.
NTPC’s Pakri Barwadih block in Jharkhand is now being tentatively targeted for commissioning by end-2008, according to NTPC officials. The block was originally scheduled to be commissioned by December 2007, which was revised to March 2008. More

NTPC Ltd, the country’s largest power utility, has decided not to take lying down the scrapping of two of its hydro-power projects in Arunachal Pradesh.

NTPC has taken the issue to its parent ministry — the ministry of power — as it does not want to let go of these projects. More
