Despite the power ministry's attempts to meet the deadlines for its ambitious ultra mega power projects, environmental issues may delay the Girye coastal power project. | |
| "The project is in an ecologically sensitive area and this may delay the deadline," government sources said. |
| |
| The project site is near Vaghotan village in the Deograh tehsil of the Sindhudurg district. The 660-1,000Mw project will be spread over 3,500 acres of rocky land near the Vaghothan river. PowerGrid is putting up a transmission line to evacuate power from the plant. |
| |
| Some of the players in fray for the project are Aditya Birla Power, Ashok Leyland, Reliance Energy, Tata Power, Torrent and Essar. |
