However,  the  concurrence  could  not  be  accorded  due  to  high  cost estimates and tariff. There is no other pending proposal for Hydro Project from Bihar.

Accordingly, sanction of the Government is not required for setting up of thermal power projects (TPP). However, for setting up  of  Hydroelectric  Power  Projects,  the  Detailed  Project  Reports  (DPRs)  are required to be submitted for concurrence of the CEA. Details of TPPs proposed to be set up in the country including Bihar by various State Govts./ JV with State Govt. are given at Annex-I.
