Vedanta Resources is likely to scale up its operational power generation capacity in India to 10,000 MW within a year.
The company has a current capacity of 6,500 MW running on ground. Over this, the company intends to commission its 1,980 MW Talwandi Sabo project in Punjab in a few months. Also, besides a 210 MW plant at Lanjigarh in Orissa, a 1,200 MW Balco project will come on-stream in Chhattisgarh.
Meanwhile, the company is looking at participating in the upcoming auctioning of captive coal blocks by the government apart from the tariff-based competitive bidding for two Ultra Mega Power Projects in Orissa and Tamil Nadu.
