The state utilities all over the nation, complaints Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) for snag in power plant assignments. The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) officials reported that the nine thermal units committed with BHEL have been deferred by 2.5 – 4.5 years.
All states except Tamil Nadu pushed BHEL and acquire recompense from them. But TNEB officials say that they would demand for costs for the postponed North Chennai plants once they are totally functioning. BHEL may be in debt from TANGEDCO Rs 1,400 Crores as contractual penalty.
Even though there have been few delays from our part, for most of the cases, the setback is on the share of the state utility as the infra-structure to upright the boiler and other apparatus was not set regularly,"said a senior BHEL official.
BHEL had to pay Rs 1,280 Crores during 2007 to 2013 as on behalf of maiming, says a 2014 statement given by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
The delay in the achievement of the projects across the state has reasoned a rough revenue deficit of Rs 27,153 Crores. This value is based on an estimation of the generation at Rs 3.50 per unit, said a senior TNEB official.
If all the contracted projects have been accomplished as per the agenda, TN might not confront power outages, he added.
