A list of 102 pending projects having capacity of 121215 MW requiring 561.83 mmscmd of gas at 90% PLF, was sent to MoP&NG in July, 2010.

In the past, the gas based power projects in the country were facing difficulties in sourcing the supply of gas. However, since the start of gas production from RIL`s KG D-6 gas blocks in the month of April, 2009 and the allocation of gas to power sector on priority, the situation has improved considerably. Gas from this block has been allocated by Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) to existing power projects to run at 75% Plant Load Factor (PLF) for plants located in Andhra Pradesh and 70% PLF for Plants Located outside Andhra Pradesh. Besides Ratnagiri Gas Power Private Limited (RGPPL) has been allocated 7.60 million metric standard cubic meter per day (mmscmd) of gas which is its actual requirement. All existing gas based power plants and those plants commissioned this year could draw gas on fallback basis up to a maximum of 12 mmscmd, to further increase their PLF. So, requirements of existing utility plants, located on gas pipelines are being met.

Since, these projects are yet to start construction, it is difficult to say by when these projects will be completed.
