The Union Government will take steps to commission the stalled Koodankulam nuclear power plant ‘as early as possible’, Union Minister of State in the PMO V. Narayanasamy said on Sunday, adding it was incurring a Rs. 750 crore loss per month by lying idle.

"In coordination with the Tamil Nadu Government, the Union Government will jointly work out the mechanism to open the Koodankulam nuclear power plant as early as possible," he said in a brief chat with reporters at Karaikal.
