Telangana on NTPC power plant

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has stated that the state is reviewing proposals from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for an additional 2400 MW plant at Ramagundam, emphasizing the need for careful consideration before signing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). He accused the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government of delaying consent due to alleged corrupt motives and reiterated that the Congress party is committed to advancing the project. Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy criticized the state government for procrastinating on the PPA, stressing the importance of the 2400 MW plant for meeting rising power demands. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have echoed these concerns, highlighting the financial implications of the delay and urging prompt action from the Congress government. The NTPC has already completed 1600 MW of the project, and the completion of the additional capacity is seen as crucial for Telangana's energy needs. The controversy continues as various political factions blame each other for the stalled agreement, complicating the state's energy future.
