The power starved Maharshtra, which is facing a daily load shedding up to 4,500 mw, has kicked off a Rs 18,000 crore investment plan to upgrade existing transmission network and install new systems in next three t five years.
Maharashtra, one of the largest states in the country spanning more than 3,00,000 km2 has been suffering from the acute power shortage and resulting load shedding for over 10 years now. Maharashtra is also one of the most industrialized and urbanized states in the country. For the growing industrial infrastructure and urbanization, power has been always a high priority agenda. Government of Maharashtra recently approved thermal power plants, IPP and CPP under its rapid expansion plans.

Hi,
I belong to Dabhol(Ratnagiri) where the GMR power project is coming,as both Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg Dist are declared as horticulture district,any further industrialisation will kill the status of these districts specially coal based power projects,recentlly a study done by the agriculturists from Kokan Krishi Vidyapeeth (Dapoli)on Jindal’s coal based power plant at Jaigad which is 10 Nautical Miles south of Dabhol has observed the effects of the said plant being not so friendly for the Alphonso Mango Plantation for which these 2 districts are famous for,as prior environmental damage is already done to Vashishti River which flows out to the Arabian Sea by Chemical Industrial Plants set up at Parshuram Lote from where all the effluents are released untreated into the river damaging the marine life of the river in addition to this there is illegal and indiscriminate sand mining activity in the river by the Kalyan based Sand mafiasos under the nose of the authorities depriving the poor local fishing community of their livelihood ,I as native of this place humbly appeal to the Government and the authorities to look for alternative source of Energy e.g solar,wind etc……………………………Ahmed Badar(Dabhol)

Dear All,
The upcoming power projects are boon to the people of MAHARASHTRA, already power starved people her especially in KOKAN region hane been suffering from acte power shortage resulting in unlimited load shedding for almost a decade, we may say a blessing in disguise as power/electricity is a basic need of a human being.
Besides this due to this Projects new employments will be created & will benifit people at large. And also the region will prosper in all means.
So We welcome the projects.
