MyIris reported that the 210 MW unit at the Amarkantak thermal power station of the Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company in Anuppur district has synchronized recently. The power station already has two 30 MW units and two 120 MW units operating.
Mr Jairam Ramesh union minister of state for commerce & power was at pains to find out that while the synchronization on oil of the 210 MW unit was an important milestone, it would be another 4 months before the unit is scheduled to be in full commercial operation.
He also expressed his anguish that the single 500 MW unit at Birsinghpur in Umaria district, which was declared commissioned in June 2007 has yet to come into full commercial operation.
