The Indian power ministry has rejected the environment ministry's precondition of shelving two coal mining projects as a tradeoff for granting clearance to a third coal block of the 17,000 crore ultra mega power project at Bedabahal in Orissa. This development would make another deferment of bidding for the 4000 MW project inevitable.
Indian environment minister Mr Jairam Ramesh has granted mining approval to the coal block on the condition that NTPC and Orissa Power Generation Corporation give up their respective coal blocks, Dulanga and Manoharpur, in the vicinity.
While NTPC will mine the Dulanga block for its various power projects, Orissa Power Generation Corporation will use coal from the Manoharpur blocks to fire its 1,320 MW project at Jharsuguda.
