Although, Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Power Limited (RPL) has achieved substantial progress, over the last quarter, in terms of acquisition of land for the construction of its ultra mega power projects (UMPP) at Sasan and Krishnapatnam, its luck seems to have run out at the Tilaya UMPP. - Only 470 acres of land have been acquired, so far, out of a total land requirement of 2,407.7 acres needed for the 4,000 MW UMPP, which has been proposed to be developed at Tilaiya village in the Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand. In fact, the project has witnessed no movement whatsoever on the land acquisition front since July 2010.8While the developer, at least, has managed to acquire 186 acres of land for the main plant, it is yet to even start the acquisition of 972 acres and 3.3 acres of land needed for the development ash and water corridor, respectively.
- The project is being executed by the Reliance Power's subsidiary, Jharkhand Integrated Power Limited (JIPL). As per the commissioning schedule proposed by the company, the first unit of the project is due to be commissioned during May 2015, while the five remaining units are expected to go on steam at successive intervals of five months until June 2017, when the entire project would be operational.
