NTPC may get Rs 2,000 crore for scrapped hydel unit

24 Aug 2010 Evaluate

Two days after a group of ministers scrapped the controversial 600 mw Loharinag Pala hydro project by NTPC, Union minister of power Sushil Kumar Shinde said the ministry will try to get the public sector utility compensated for all the investments it made in the project.

 

The direct investment in the project estimated to be around Rs 650 crore and if we take into account the equipment orders placed by the company, the total compensation would be around `2,000 crore.

 

On Friday, a group of ministers led by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee decided to scrap the project following protests by locals. The ministerial group has already scrapped two other hydel projects on the Bhagirathi river — the 480 mw Pala Maneri project and the 381 mw Bhairon Ghati project.

 

A large number of religious leaders had also been protesting against the proposed dam, claiming that it will threaten the existence of the river and block free flow of Ganga, which is considered holy by the Hindus.
