Kovvada N-plant: AP allots land to NPCIL.

In a major step towards construction of the atomic power plant at Kovvada in the district, the Andhra Pradesh government issued an order (No.1179) recently giving advance possession of land under its control to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL).

The NPCIL will take possession of 1,473.16 acres from the government and pay for it as per the value fixed by the Revenue Department.

“It is a major step towards the actual construction activity at the proposed site. As it is a government land, there will not be any objection from anyone,” Kovvada Atomic Power Plant Project Director G.V. Ramesh told The Hindu.
