MUMBAI: Plans for a 1,000 MW power plant in Thakurli may get derailed because of differences between the partners-the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and the Railways.

State committee to look into turbine maker

Most of the plants are located in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Maharashtra

NEW DELHI: The Union Coal Ministry on Friday cracked the whip on power companies by cancelling coal linkages of 25 captive power plants (CPPs). These plants with a combined capacity of 1,292 MW required 5.844 million tonnes of coal annually.

The surroundings are horribly unnerving even for a species dismissively called 'lesser flamingo': a five-acre mudflat surrounded by a crumbling old port, a ship breaking yard, two oil refineries, a fertilizer plant, and a sprawling slum. But this is where the glorious birds take their six-month

MUMBAI: The engineering marvel Bandra-Worli sea link, which opens on June 30, is likely to consume 1,000 KW power a day, enough to meet the electricity requirement to 100 households.

"We have installed a transmitter which has 1,000 KVA capacity. This has been placed keeping the demand in mind," Bajaj Electrical's Head Engineering Project Lalit Mehta said.

Though Shiv Sena's violent agitation against power tariff hike appears to be for its own good than the public, according to experts, power companies cannot be let off the hook either.

Nagpur: The power generation of Maharashtra State Electricity Generation Company (Mahagenco) is likely to suffer this week as coal supply to its Koradi and Khaperkheda plants would be interrupted due to the mega rail block between Bhilai and Bilaspur, official sources said.

The Maharashtra Government has ordered a high-level inquiry into wind turbine maker Suzlon Energy

MUMBAI: Though Maharashtra's power generation from coal (thermal power) has gone up manifold, the power being generated from water (hydro power) and natural gas has dipped considerably. Several such units are being phased out slowly, thereby increasing the gap between the installed capacity and the actual generation.

The world's fifth largest wind turbine maker, Suzlon Energy, which has been grappling with quality issues with its rotor blades in the US and struggling to repay debt, finds itself in rough weather yet again
