The Board of Approval (BoA) in the commerce ministry will again take up, on June 2, the proposal of the Mundra port and special economic zone (SEZ) for almost doubling the power generation capacity at its sector-specific SEZ at Kutch in Gujarat.
The BoA, headed by Commerce Secretary GK Pillai, had on February 23, 2009, deferred the decision on a request from Adani Power Private Ltd, the promoter of the Mundra Port and SEZ, for increasing the generation capacity to 5,040 Mw from 2,640 Mw approved earlier.
The BoA asked the developer to come back with a clear plan for power utilisation since the current utilisation was very low.
The proposal will again come up for consideration of the BoA. It is also supported by an indication from the Gujarat government showing the projected demand for 10 years from potential users.
