The Planning Commission on Thursday approved the extension of time for completion of the Singhpur barrage irrigation project of Madhya Pradesh.
The Government of Madhya Pradesh had requested for extension for two-year time period without any cost overrun in the project for which investment clearance was accorded earlier. Now, on the request of the State Government, the time period has been extended by two years, a Plan panel release said.
The scheme will have to be executed as per the approved outlays in the State Plan. The State Finance Department has been asked to restrict the expenditure to the approved cost.
“No additional expenditure beyond the approved cost may be permitted unless the revised estimate is approved,” it added.
