Green nod for GAIL's power plant in MP.

After giving green nods to some long pending defence projects, the government recently gave environment clearance to public sector undertaking GAIL for setting up a 380 MW gas-based power plant in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh.

The project will be located within GAIL's existing LPG manufacturing facility-cum-compressor station at Vijaypur, one km west of the Agra-Mumbai highway.

'Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) had cleared it after environment impact assessment of the project in its last meeting in May. The formal clearance has now been given, paving the way for GAIL to start construction,' said an official of the environment ministry.
