Power Finance Corporation, NTPC and
Central Power ministry is mulling a new location (at Dighi in Raigarh district)
for the 4,000 MW Ultra Mega Power project in Maharashtra.
Earlier, the project was to come up at
Girye in Sindhudurg district, but due to opposition for the proposed plant from
the locals there, the power ministry is scouting for another site on the Konkan
coast for imported coal-based power project.
