'Go, No-go' Ghost Still Haunts Chhattisgarh Ultra-Mega Power Project

DELHI--August 29, 2012--Researched by Industrial Info Resources India (New Delhi, India)--A year after the government of India scrapped the controversial "no-go" policy, which had banned coal mining in certain areas in India, state-run Power Finance Corporation (BSE:532810) (PFC) (New Delhi, India) is still awaiting a response from build-operate-own-transfer (BOOT) developers for the execution of the 4,000-megawatt (MW) Surguja Ultra-Mega Power Project (UMPP) in Chhattisgarh, a state in central India.

A formal go-ahead on mining from the country's environment ministry is still pending.
