Hyderabad , Dec. 20

The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the 600 MW Goindwal Sahib power project being set up by GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Ltd in the Taran Taran district of Punjab.

The two units of 300 MW each will be fired by coal from GVK's captive mines at Tokisud North sub-block in Jharkhand.

The Prime Minister said, "If Punjab has to grow rapidly, we need to pay greater attention to its industrialisation and electricity is crucial for this to happen. This is a major thermal power project in Punjab after a long gap."

The Chairman, GVK Power (Goindwal Sahib) Ltd., Mr G.V.K. Reddy, in a statement said: "Our power plants are benchmarked to the best standards of efficiency and productivity."
