The PM also dedicated the 660 MW (Unit-2) of North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project in Chatra, Jharkhand.
This is the country’s first Supercritical Thermal Power Project conceived with an Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) of such large magnitude which reduces water consumption to one-third in comparison to conventional water-cooled condensers.
The commencement of work in this project was flagged off by the Prime Minister.
Modi said the Rs 56,000 crore worth projects will write new chapter of development in several states.
He further said today India was the “only country” in the world which has emerged as a large economy by clocking 8.4 per cent growth in the revious quarter.
India’s growth rate was the point of discussion for the past 3-4 days across the world.
“With this pace, India will become the third largest economy of the world,” he added.
Further, Centre was cooperating in every way in realising the development dream of the people of Telangana, the PM said.
In his address, Revanth Reddy said PM means like a big brother and that the state needs his support for it to progress like Gujarat, Modi’s home-state.
Telangana, a Congress-ruled state did not want confrontation with the Centre and desired cordial relations, he said.
“We would like to contribute to the ambitious target of a USD 5 trillion economy,” he added.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy also participated.
