The Tehri Hydro Development Corporation said Wednesday its Khurja thermal plant would supply power at competitive rates and is equipped with a technology to reduce emissions which would be 50 per cent less than permissible levels.
Rejecting a report that claimed the proposed Khurja coal power plant in Uttar Pradesh will push up the electricity cost and increase air pollution levels in Delhi, THDC India Limited (THDCIL), formerly known as Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Ltd, said, "this is totally baseless and appears to be motivated."
THDCIL said that there would be a coal price difference of about Rs 2 per unit which stipulates that IEEFA report has not considered realistic figures while speculating the tariff of Khurja STPP and "Thus, their estimate is bogus and unrealistic."
