Steel major SAIL has sought gas allocation of 5 million standard cubic metre per day for its proposed 1,050 MW independent power plant at Jagdishpur near Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.

A top official said, “SAIL has submitted an application to Central Electricity Authority for allocating 5 mscmd natural gas from domestic sources for the power plant project.”

He said that “I have written to Shinde Saheb. He will prioritise it and would pitch for gas allocation.”

Steel Authority of India had earlier proposed to set up a steel plant of 2 million tonnes per annum capacity along with a 1,050 MW power plant for the revival of erstwhile Malice Steel at an estimated investment of INR 10,000 crore.

However, it had to change the plans following a rejection of its request by the Petroleum Ministry for allocation of gas.
