Background
The Bihar State Electricity Board notes on its website that the project was approved by the State Investment Promotion Board of Bihar in September 2008 but that "progress has not been reported by the firm".[1]
Essar Energy does not list the project on their website as one of those under construction.[2] Nor does its 2010 annual report list the project as one which is under development.[3] The project appears to have been abandoned.
