Based on the report of CMPDI, NRSA<br />
and site visits by the teams of the Site Selection<br />
Committee, a large shelf of sites had been created<br />
having potential of more than 2,00,000 MW.<br />
Many sites from this shelf have been identified<br />
for benefits during the 11 th Plan & 12 th Plan. The<br />
sites for some of the Ultra Mega Power Projects<br />
(UMPPs) have been identified from the shelf of<br />
sites created under the scheme. The reports of<br />
CMPDI & NRSA have been sent to the State<br />
Govts. for necessary action for <strong>development</strong> of<br />
the identified sites.<br />
CMPDI in their draft reports submitted<br />
in January 2010 for selection of sites near load<br />
centers have identified 24 sites in the States<br />
of Haryana and Madhya Pradesh. Visits to the<br />
identified sites by a team of officers from CEA,<br />
CMPDI & State Electricity and Irrigation Deptt.<br />
along with local revenue officials are being<br />
made to assess the suitability of the sites with<br />
reference to availability of land & water and<br />
environmental aspects.<br />
6.2 Setting up of Ultra Mega Power<br />
Projects (UMPPs)<br />
Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs)<br />
are being promoted with a view of providing<br />
<strong>power</strong> to all at a reasonable rate and ensuring<br />
fast capacity addition by Ministry of Power,<br />
Government of India as an initiative facilitating<br />
the <strong>development</strong> of UMPPs of 4000 MW capacity<br />
each under tariff based international competitive<br />
bidding route. Project specific Shell Companies<br />
(Special Purpose Vehicles) as 100% subsidiaries<br />
of Power Finance Corporation Limited have been<br />
created for carrying out <strong>development</strong>al work<br />
consisting of tie up of inputs/clearances and the<br />
bidding process for selection of developers for<br />
the UMPPs. Various inputs for the UMPPs are<br />
tied up by the SPV with assistance of MoP &<br />
CEA. CEA is involved in selection of sites for<br />
these UMPPs.<br />
Initially following nine (9) UMPPs were<br />
proposed to be set up in different States:<br />
i) Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project in M.Pcoal<br />
pithead- 6x660 MW<br />
ii) Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project in<br />
Gujarat- coastal- 5x800 MW<br />
iii) Krishnapatnam Ultra Mega Power Project<br />
in A.P.- coastal- 4000 MW<br />
iv) Ultra Mega Power Project in Jharkhandcoal<br />
pithead- 4000 MW<br />
v) Ultra Mega Power Project in Chhattisgarhcoal<br />
pithead- 4000 MW<br />
vi) Ultra Mega Power Project in Orissa-coal<br />
pithead- 4000 MW<br />
vii) Ultra Mega Power Project in Tamil Naducoastal-<br />
4000 MW<br />
viii) Ultra Mega Power Project in Maharashtracoastal-<br />
4000 MW<br />
ix) Ultra Mega Power Project in Karnatakacoastal-<br />
4000 MW<br />
The UMPPs are awarded through tariff<br />
based international competitive bidding. Out<br />
of above nine (9) UMPPs, four UMPPs namely<br />
Sasan in M.P., Mundra in Gujarat, Krishnapatnam<br />

been awarded and transferred to the developers<br />
selected through tariff based competitive<br />
bidding. Sasan, Mundra, Krishnapatnam<br />
and Tilaiya UMPPs are at different stages of<br />
implementation. As per the present status of<br />
projects intimated by the developers, one unit<br />
of 660 MW of Sasan UMPP and two units of<br />
800 MW each of Mundra UMPP are expected<br />
