State-run power producer NTPC Ltd’s overseas plans are likely to take a new turn this year. According to sources, work on its Sri Lanka project is likely to start by year- end, while an environmental impact study is going on for its Bangladesh project.
Last year, both NTPC and the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) of Sri Lanka had incorporated a joint venture, Trincomalee Power Co, to set up a 2x250 megawatt (Mw) coal-based power project at Sampur in the Trincomalee region. The overall investment of the project was expected to be Rs 3,000 crore.
