Power and Energy Department Secretary Pema Wangchen said, the developers had made inordinate delay in starting work for which contracts were awarded years ago.
Wangchen added, the developers whose contracts had been cancelled did not even submit the detailed project report, not to speak of other unfulfilled obligations.
On the other hand, private developer Madhya Bharat Power Corporation had filed a writ petition first week of this month in the Sikkim High Court challenging the cancellation of the project at Rongnichu (96 MW) stating that the required land for the project had not been made available.
Wangchen said the hydro power projects like Sada-Mangder (71 Mw), Rongnichu (96 Mw), Bhasmey (51 Mw), Rolep 36 Mw), Chakungchu (50 Mw), Ting Ting (90 Mw), Rateychu-Bakchachu (40 Mw), Tashiding (88 Mw) and Ralong (40 Mw) had been scrapped due to delay by developers to execute the projects.
