Planning Commission is eyeing a power capacity of about 100,000 MW in 5 yrs
The Planning Commission is unlikely to agree to the Power Ministry's proposal of adding only about 76,000 MW electricity generation capacity in the 12th Plan (2012-17) even as the sector battles acute fuel shortage. According to the Approach to the 12th Five-Year Plan, the commission is eyeing a power capacity creation of about 1,00,000 MW in the five years.
