Power ministry roots for mega project status for Bawana

With the CM putting pressure to ensure that the 1,500 MW power plant at Bawana is completed in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, Power Minister A K Walia has indicated that the plant may soon be granted "mega project status' by the Union Ministry of Power. "There are certain terms and conditions to be met before a power plant can be granted mega project status. We are in discussion with various stakeholders to ensure that these pre-conditions are met,' he said.
