Hazira Extension likely to be pushed back to FY 12

It appears that the 351 MW Hazira Extension project, in Gujarat, is not expected to be completed before the end of this fiscal. To blame is the developer, Gujarat State Energy Generation Limited's (GSEG), inability to put the turbine generator on the barring gear before February 2011, consequently delaying the rolling and synchronization to the same month, as well. As of now, the rest of the work is scheduled as follows:
