BHEL no to Singur plant Aparajita Gupta

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) clarified it would not go ahead with a power generation project on the plot abandoned by Tata Motors at Singur.

"The land requirement for the proposed project of 1,500 MW is much bigger than the plot available at Singur," said AV Krishnan, executive director, Tiruchy Complex, BHEL.

Senior BHEL officials on November 12, 2009, had inspected the land in Hooghly district to consider setting up a power generation plant.

Auto major Tata Motors planned to roll out the world's cheapest car, Nano, from the plant it had been setting up there. However, it abandoned the 997.11-acre site following strident opposition by farmers.
