Union Minister for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh found himself isolated at the meeting of the full Planning Commission (PC) on the issue of the 12th Plan’s power generation target. Dubbing the Plan’s aim to add 100,000 Mw to India’s existing power generation capacity of around 165,000 Mw as “ecologically unsustainable”, Ramesh suggested aiming for less than the targeted seven per cent annual rate of growth of generation.
