APL aims at tying up all loose ends for 660 MW Mundra TPP unit by January 2012

Struggling to regain its grip on the critical activities of its 600 MW unit of the Mundra thermal power plant (TPP), Adani Power Limited (APL) has made a contingency arrangement for structural erection works associated with the coal handling plant, hoping that the process is completed before the revised estimate of December 2011.

With the grim reality of unstable progress weighing down on APL, it has now resorted to expediting the civil and structural fabrication works. Further, it has also started maintaining the ash handling plant, which has been reported as ‘critical’ recently. In all likelihood, the works of the plant, along with the commencement of full load operations, will now be completed by the end of January 2012.

In addition to this, the feasibility of unit commissioning is also dependent upon the boiler light up (BLU) and turbine generator (TG) box up works, both of which have now been pushed ahead by a period of six months.

The oil synchronization process is now scheduled to be completed by mid December this year. APL has been struggling with the coal firing process, with this crucial activity now anticipated to be completed by end of December 2011.
