MoP unlikely to extend Scheme for Utilisation of Stranded Gas-based Generation Capacity

The MoP is unlikely to extend the Scheme for Utilisation of Stranded Gas-based Generation Capacity, which is due to expire in March 2017. The ministry believes that alternative long-term solutions need to be devised for stranded gas-based plants. About 24,000 MW of capacity is stranded due to the shortage of gas.
