The following action/steps are taken by the Ministry of Power (MoP)/Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to ensure timely completion of Power Projects:

MoP/CEA monitor the progress of under-construction power projects through frequent site visits and interaction with the developers & other stakeholders. CEA holds review meetings periodically with the developers and other stakeholders to identify and resolve issues critical for commissioning of Projects.

Regular reviews are also undertaken in MoP to identify the constraint areas to facilitate faster resolution of Inter-Ministerial and other outstanding Issues.

In case of Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) projects of the Ministry of Power (MoP), the project implementation parameters/milestones are incorporated in the annual MoU signed between respective CPSUs and MoP and the same are monitored during the quarterly performance review meetings of CPSUs and other meetings held in MoP/CEA.

Issues related to project implementation are taken up with State Government/District Administration for resolving the issues raised by the Project Implementing Agencies.

Matters are also taken up with the State Government/District Administration for extending help to the Project Implementing Agencies in resolving the Right of Way (RoW) issues.
