4 'Commonwealth Games' projects yet to be commissioned

Even as the much-vaunted Commonwealth Games, 2010, have come and gone, four projects deemed critical to the games' success are yet to see the light of day, even now. These are:

Koderma TPP (2x500 MW): The project, being developed by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), initially faced delays in land acquisition, along with law and order problems. It is still suffering due to the slow pace of supply and erection of some boiler equipment, turbine generator materials and the raw water system. 

Mejja TPS Phase-II (2x500 MW): The first unit of this DVC led project was commissioned in September 2010, however, the second unit is facing difficulties with regards to delays with the critical coal handling plant.
Durgapur Steel TPP (2x500 MW): Myriad issues have come in the way of this project being commissioned by DVC. These range from initial delay in land filling and site leveling to hurdles in land acquisition. In addition, law and order problems, delay in supply and erection of boiler and TG materials have added to the developer's problems at the project. 
Pragati-III CCP (6x250 MW): Being developed by Pragati Power Corporation Limited (PPCL), this project is hampered due to the slow progress on civil works and supply of equipment by BHEL.
