Andhra Pradesh
It can be seen that the major capacity additions of 1,686 MW had come from
the central sector, of which 1,000 MW was from the State dedicated Simhadri
Power Station of NTPC, located at Vishakapatnam. Private sector contribution
was only 575 MW in six years. The following major power stations, planned
under the private sector, did not materialise for want of financial closures:
• 1000 MW Power Station at Vishakapatnam by M/s Hindujas.
• 1000 MW Power Station at Krishna Patnam by M/s GVK Power and BBI.
• 500 MW Power Station at Ramagundam by M/s BPL.
After restructuring, APGENCO’s major contribution was the 900 MW
Srisailam Left Bank Hydel Station (6x150 MW). The balance sheets of the
State Utilities has inspired enough confidence in the FIs to provide financial
support for the projects of APGENCO. The following projects of APGENCO
are under various stages of execution:
