coal based power projects aggregating to a capacity of 18,420 MW.

gas-based power projects aggregating to a capacity of 11,154 MW. (Click/Tap for details)

hydroelectric projects aggregating to a capacity of 6,329 MW. (Click/Tap for details)

Estimated debt of the 54 (17 coal + 17 gas + 20 hydro) projects based on conservative estimates of Rs 5 crore per MW for thermal projects and Rs 7 crore per MW for hydro.

Primary reasons why the projects are stalled:

Non-availability of regular fuel supply arrangements.

Lack of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) tie-ups - 25 mega power projects (1,000+ MW) without PPAs as they are unable to find buyers for their capacity in the current surplus market condition.

Inability of the Promoter to infuse the equity and service debt.

Regulatory and Contractual issues.

Key steps taken by Ministry of Power to resolve the situation:

Launch of SHAKTI scheme, to ensure grant of regular coal linkages to the stranded and all other operational projects.

Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) scheme for Financial and Operational Turnaround of power distribution utilities (DISCOMs) of the country.

Power For All (PFA) initiative with States and UTs for bringing uninterrupted quality of power to each household, industry, commercial business, small & medium enterprise and establishment.

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) for Rural Electrification.

Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) for strengthening of sub-transmission and distribution networks in the urban areas; Metering of distribution transformers / feeders / consumers in the urban areas and IT enablement of distribution sector.

Augmenting Transmission capacity to remove transmission constraints.

Flexibility in utilization of domestic coal for reducing the cost of power generation.
