Punjab government has purchased a 540 MW private thermal power plant at Goindwal Sahib for Rs 1,080 crore. This is the first time a private power plant has been bought by the state government.
Chandigarh, Jan 1 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday said the state government has bought a 540-megawatt private thermal power plant at Goindwal Sahib.
"It is for the first time that a private power plant is being bought by the government," Mann said at a news conference here.
"We have purchased it for Rs 1,080 crore, which works out to a cost of Rs 2 crore per megawatt," Mann said.
