Central Electricity Authority data reveal that orders for some higher capacity (500-800 Mw) equipment have not been placed

India is set to miss the 11th Five-Year Plan's power capacity addition target as some orders for higher-capacity equipment have not been placed yet.

Experts say even if the orders are placed today, it is not possible to commission the equipment within the 43 months that remain of the current Plan period, which ends in March 2012.
