NEW DELHI: RIL's gas supply of around 18 mmscd gas from KG basin D6 block to gas-based power plants in the country, would increase power generation by 3,500 to 4,000 MW.
"We are expecting the power generation capacity in the country to be ramped up by 3,500 to 40,00 MW, once RIL KG basin gas starts flowing to existing as well as new gas-based power plants in the country," the apex power body Central Electricity Authority Chairman Rakesh Nath told reporters here.
He said, "Presently we are getting around 34-35 mmscd of gas for various gas-based power plants in the country against the requirement of 70 mmscd. With RIL gas supply the gas deficit for the power plants would come down from 35 mmscd to 17 mmscd."
About the power deficit in the country Nath said, "There is around 25,000 MW power deficit in the country. The total installed power generation capacity in the country is around 1,47,000 MW."
