Stating this here on Monday, after visiting the Talwandi Sabo plant and reviewing the progress, Badal said that the first unit of 1980 Mw of thermal power plant was being developed by Sterlite Energy Limited, a Vedanta group company, at an approximate cost of Rs 11,000 crore.
Badal further said that the plant would undoubtedly give a boost to the industrial sector and Punjab would be power surplus by the end of December. Power would be available to the people at the cheaper rates.
