Background
In May 2011 project proponent DPSC said it had acquired 155 acres for the 540 MW power plant, and that it was scheduled to be onstream by 2012.[1] The DPSC website lists it as a project in progress,[2] however as of August 2015 there are no permits or applications for the project listed on the India MoEF website, and it appears to be abandoned.
