Task force okays Rs 3,106 cr gas-based project in Odisha

Now decks have been cleared for establishment of a 423 mw gas-based power project in Odisha, the first of its kind in the state, at an investment of Rs 3,106 crore. JGreen Power has come forward with its proposal for the project. The company has a registered office at Balasore.

JGreen Power is keen to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) based power station at Dhamra banking on gas supplies from the five million tonne LNG terminal proposed at the same location by Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL). The company is to make use of Japanese technology and it needs barely 37 acres of land.

Now, the project proposal will go to the Single Window Clearance Authority and later to the High Level Clearance Authority, sources said.
