India unlikely to achieve capacity addition targets for 2010-11

The Planning Commission is not very optimistic about the power sector's performance over the ongoing fiscal. This pessimism is driven by the fact that the country has, up till November 15, 2010, achieved only 35% of its capacity addition targets for 2010-11, even as more than half the year has passed. As against a targeted capacity of 20,359 MW for the year, the power sector has added only about 7059 MW worth of capacity.    

• The website carries here, a sector-wise and quarter-wise comparison on the capacity addition targets versus achievements for the fiscal, as of mid-November 2010. The information here, is delineated in terms of thermal, hydro and nuclear segments.
