The Planning Commission has marginally revised capacity addition to 78,700 MW from 78,577 MW for the 11th Plan period. Projects with capacities of 11,464 MW which turned out to be non feasible have been excluded from the capacity addition plan. However, these projects have been replaced by additional projects with the generation capacities of 11,587 MW.

The new projects of 11,587 MW which have been included in the revised capacity addition, include

The Planning Commission, which recently undertook a review of the addition in capacity, projected an increase in capacity of 11,061 MW for 2008-09. Of the 78,700 MW, thermal power projects will have a major share with generation capacities of 59,639 MW followed by 15,627 MW by the hydro power sector and 3,380 MW by nuclear plants. Nearly 36,874 MW will be generated by the central government organizations, 26,783 MW by state units and 15,043 MW by private firms.
