Cabinet is expected to deliberate upon the reallocation issue of NTPC's proposed North Karanpura power project in Jharkhand to another site in the state, as early as next month.
The Coal ministry had earlier this month moved a Cabinet note on the issue of relocation of the power plant as the site first proposed falls under potential coal-bearing area. As per the note, the 1,980 MW project currently proposed at North Karanpura coalfields should not be given approval on the grounds that it is a potential coal bearing area with an estimated reserve of six billion tonnes.
Further, the Ministry in the note also blamed that issues such as adverse effect of heavy blasting in a power project, threat of inundation of low lying mines arising out of flash floods, land to be set aside for power evacuation corridors have not been adequately addressed by the committee, which submitted its report to the GoM.
However, currently the Coal Ministry is waiting for the comments of different ministries, after which a Cabinet committee is expected to take up the issue on board. Meanwhile, the Central Mine Planning & Design Institute also had earlier made a suggestion for shifting the project to another location.
