Notwithstanding its much-hyped efforts, the power ministry has again failed the deliver actual generation and transmission capacities that were slated to be added during the second quarter of the ongoing 2010-11 fiscal. Only 59.4% of the generation capacity addition target was realized, while only 69.22% of the target for new transmission lines was achieved.
- Only 2,870 MW on fresh generation capacity was added over the June-September quarter, against the target of 4,831 MW, while 2,659 ckm worth of lines, vis-à-vis the Q2 target of 3,841 ckm, was installed.
- The central sector utilities achieved barely 50% of the targeted capacity, while state sector utilities could realize a mere 7.6% of their second quarter target of 1,437.5 MW. In contrast, the private sector power producers, surpassed their target comfortably, by 411 MW, against the quarter's target of 1,279 MW.
- Notably, 6,270 MW of new projects has been commissioned this fiscal, as of October 15, 2010, as against the target of 20,359 MW for the entire year.
- A total of 3,006 ckm of transmission lines have been added in the first two quarters, against the target of 18,563 ckm set for the fiscal.
