Lignite mining-cum-power generator Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) is hopeful of getting around 59 hectares of declassified forest land so that its 1,000 mw power project in Tuticorin can proceed without hitch. The land was obtained from the Tuticorin Port Trust. Long back some portion of the land was classified as forest land though there is no forest there, Chairman and Managing Director B Surender Mohan said.
