Schemes to procure 4,000 MW from gas-based power plants floated

The power ministry has finalised two schemes at about Rs.1 tn to procure 4,000 MW from gas-based power plants to rescue stranded units. The schemes include procuring 2,000 MW from gas-based plants through auction and bundling it with an equal capacity of solar power, while another 2,000 MW will be procured through online reverse auction, on a model similar to previous such schemes.
