New Delhi The 12th Five-year Plan may end without any significant fresh gas-based power capacity being added in the country. The power ministry has issued a directive to all state governments and other central and state utilities asking them not to propose any new gas-based power project at least till the end of fiscal 2015.
The advisory comes as gas is in short supply domestically and the situation could worsen in coming months as production at the country’s biggest reserve, Reliance Industries’ D6 block in the Krishna-Godavari basin, is expected to fall further from already low levels.
