Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd proposes to invest about INR 38,000 crore to augment power generation capacity by some 6,000 MW over the next five years.
Mr SM Jaamdar MD of KPCL said that the land acquisition process for the 1,600 MW thermal power project at Godhna in Chhattisgarh was at an advanced stage.
The super critical thermal power plants at Edlapur and Yeramarus were poised to take off through the KPCL-BHEL joint venture company called Raichur Power Corporation Ltd.
KPCL is awaiting the clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest for the Gundia Hydro Electric Project and is expected to commence work shortly on Unit 2 of the Bellary Thermal Power Station for which the financial closure has been achieved. The State Government recently approved KPCL’s proposal to go in for a 2,100 MW gas based power plant in the first phase at Tadadi along with a dedicated LNG terminal for gas supply.
KPCL also expects that the 270 MW, run-of-the river project at Shivanasamudram will take off soon.
Mr Jaamdar said that reforms in coal management and redeployment of manpower while expanding capacity helped KPCL to save costs to the tune of INR 1,020 crore.
KPCL achieved a profit after tax of INR 277 crore for 2008-09 on a turnover of INR 4,148 crore.
