==Background==
The proposed power station would comprise two units, each of 520 MW. The plant has been the locus of controversy including large protests in 2011. In November 2011, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) decided to defer the coastal regulation zone (CRZ) approvals to the project following alleged violations by the company.<ref>[http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-11-26/news/30444448_1_power-project-east-coast-energy-crz "MoEF defers nod to Hinduja coal power project in AP,"] The Economic Times, November 26, 2011</ref>
