India: Kudankulam nuclear power plant to be commissioned in May

New Delhi, Mar 20: The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) has made it clear that the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) cannot not be commissioned next month. 
 
V Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, had told the Lok Sabha that the reactors at the plant would be commercially operated in April. However, NPCIL said that Unit-1 of KKNPP can be commissioned only by May. 
 
As for the second unit, NPCIL indicated that it may be commissioned by the year end. This is not the first time that Narayanasamy had given a specific time frame for the commissioning. In Dec 2012, he informed the Lower House of Parliament that commercial operation of one of the two 1000 megawatt reactors would be possible within days. "There is no confusion or delay in commencing generation of power," he averred.
