Telangana Deputy Chief Minister M. Bhatti Vikramarka said that the 5×800 megawatt Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS) is perhaps the first thermal power generation facility in the country that has been planned and established without assured coal allotment as the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government had changed the source several times even before it was commissioned.
However, the Opposition BRS and its leaders like T. Harish Rao tried to shift the blame onto the present Congress government, Mr. Vikramarka, who also handles the energy portfolio, said adding that the previous government had initially planned to supply G9 grade coal from Singareni Collieries, though 14 million tonnes per annum required for the project was not available in Singareni mines.
