Neyveli Lignite Corporation is likely to sign an
MoU with the Gujarat government by end-January 2006 for its power project in the
state.
NLC has planned to set up a 1,000 MW
lignite-based power plant comprising four units of 250 MW each. Four locations
have been short-listed, it is learnt.
This would be NLC's first project outside its
home state, Tamil Nadu. Early indications of this project were available in
September 2005 when the company indicated its keenness to set up power plants
outside its home state. Gujarat was one of the options that also included Madhya
Pradesh, Rajasthan and Orissa.
