NTPC to set up 2,000-Mw unit in Lalitpur

The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is likely to set up another thermal plant of over 2,000 Mw at Lalitpur district in the Bundelkhand region.

NTPC Chairman T Shankarlingam said here today the 2,000-plus Mw thermal power project would be set up in Lalitpur. ''Our team for site selections will reach the spot in a few days and the land for the project will be finalised in two months."

"It is yet to be decided whether the Lalitpur project will be a joint venture with the UP government or the NTPC would implement on its own," Shankarlingam said.
