India set to meet Plan target for power capacity

摘要

For the first time in its history, a constant power deficit in India is set to achieve its electricity capacity addition target for any Plan period. As per the Business Standard analysis of the status of equipment order placement and the time required for commissioning of power units reveals the 12th Plan's capacity target of 88,537 megawatt (Mw) is likely to be met with only minor slippages. Within the first 14 months, orders for manufacturing and commissioning of the entire 88,537 Mw capacity for the 12th Plan have been placed, according to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the country's apex power planning body.
