Background

In September 2011, it was reported that Reliance Power wanted to scrap the proposed 4,000 megawatts (MW) power project at Shahapur in Maharashtra’s Raigad district "because of the state government’s inability to complete land acquisition within the legally stipulated time frame." The Shahapur project, being developed by R-Power’s subsidiary, Maharashtra Energy Generation Ltd, had two parts— 1,200MW would be based on imported coal, and the rest on gas.[1] See the Shahpur Thermal Power Project
