The first unit of the 4000 MW Mundra UMPP, being developed by Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, may belie the power developer's claims of commencing commercial operations ahead of schedule.
- As per the latest status report on the project, released by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the schedule for boiler-related activities of the unit has been pushed back by a month or so. The company now expects to conclude the boiler light up and steam blow-off by January and February 2011, respectively.
- Further, erection of boiler, although nearing completion, has seen no progress over the last one month.
- On a brighter note, the developer has completed the erection of main frame structures for Unit IV and V. Oil flushing for Unit I and TG erection for Unit II is expected to commence by the end of this month. In addition, stator erection and rotor insertion for the second unit have been completed.
- Tata Power bagged the Mundra project in 2007 through the international competitive bidding route. The project entails an investment of over Rs 17,000 crore, funded via a debt and equity ratio of 75:25.
