Rajasthan CM approves setting up two power projects

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved proposals for setting up two units of 660 MW capacity each at Chhabra and an 800 MW unit at Kalisindh power project. Expanding the Chhabra thermal power project, two units based on ultra-supercritical technology will be set up at a cost of Rs 9,606.06 crore. Besides this, expanding the Kalisindh thermal power project, a unit of 800 MW will be set up based on ultra-supercritical technology at a cost of Rs 6,054.58 crore.

The state government not only wants to make Rajasthan self-reliant in power generation but trying to make it a power surplus. With the setting up of power projects of a total of 2,120 MW in Chhabra and Kalisindh, the State will not only move fast towards becoming self-sufficient in the field of power generation but there will also be an increase in employment opportunities and the local area development.

Gehlot in the 2022-23 budget had announced to set up thermal power projects based on ultra-supercritical technology to save coal, reduce pollution and conserve the environment.
