The power ministry has rejected two sites offered by the Gujarat Government to set up ultra mega power projects (UMPP) for environmental reasons. The state had identified the sites - one near Junagarh and another near Jamnagar for setting up UMPPs of 4,000 MW capacity each. For Junagarh, the objection was due the location’s proximity to Gir Forest area, while in case of Jamnagar, the site was near the limestone mines. For the latter it is yet to receive permission from the Gujarat State Mining Corp.
