The state-run power company NTPC expects to commission the first 800 MW unit of its 4,000 MW Kudgi super thermal power project at Vijayapura in Karnataka in the current fiscal.
“The first 800 MW ultra-super critical unit at Kudgi is expected to come on stream this financial year,” NTPC chairman and managing director A K Jha said in a press statement.
NTPC had signed an MoU with the Karnataka government and Power Corporation of Karnataka Ltd in January 2009 for setting up the coal-based power plant at Kudgi.
