Only with respect to one 20 MW project “I have my doubts”, he said. The only 20 MW project among the seven is that of Aurum Energy. Officials of the company could not be contacted for a comment.
The official said that the proponents of this project wanted to change the technology. They were told by MNRE to submit a revised project plan for approval, but no such revised proposal has been brought to the Ministry as yet, he said.
However, developers of the other six projects are on track, the official said. Mainly, equipment ordering is advanced in respect of them.
The seven projects are of a total capacity of 470 MW.
Also, one of these projects of capacity 100 MW is part of the broader investigation on Lanco where the company is accused to have misled the Government on the question of ownership of projects.
