The bids from Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (RRVUN) to build two units of thermal power projects with 660 MW capacity based on ultra supercritical technology in chabbra and kalisindh, respectively, were accepted on Monday by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
As part of the Chhabra Thermal Power Project, the two units will be used. The price to set them up is Rs 9,606,06 crore. Along with growing the Kalisindh Thermal Power Project, an 800 MW unit utilising ultra supercritical technology will be built at a cost of Rs 6054.58 crore.
The state government not only wants to make Rajasthan self-reliant in power generation but trying to make it a power surplus. With the setting up of power projects of a total 2120Mw in Chhabra and Kalisindh, the state will not only move fast towards becoming self-sufficient in the field of power generation but there will also be an increase in the employment opportunities and the local area development.
It is to be mentioned that Shri Gehlot in the 2022-23 budget had announced to set up thermal power projects based on ultra supercritical technology to save coal, reduce pollution and conserve the environment.
