Reliance Power to start work on Chitrangi project by October

Reliance Power will start work on the 4,000-MW Chitrangi power project in Madhya Pradesh by October’10. The company is already executing three UMPP of 4,000 MW capacities each.

The project, which will use incremental coal coming out from captive mines of RPL’s Sasan UMPP, has received all important environment and defence clearances recently and majority of the land for the project has also been transferred to the company.

The project is yet to achieve financial closure but Reliance Power expects to commission it by 2013 along with its other two UMPPs at Sasan and Krishnapatnam.
