Chinese engineers tapped to repair Indian power plant

Chinese engineers will repair the second unit of 300MW capacity of Yamuna Nagar power plant.

The plant is non-functional since last year.

Haryana power minister Ajay Yadav said the plant, which is based on Chinese technology, is expected to be functional by February-end after it is repaired.

Yadav said 15 engineers from China will come to Haryana by month-end to resolve the problem cropped up at Yamuna Nagar power plant.

Engineers will remain here till power plant start running properly, he added.

Ajay Singh Yadav said Yamunanagar thermal power plant started functioning in 2008-09 but last year the plant stopped generating power because of fault in Chinese rotor which could not be repaired in India.

The minister further said the land for setting up nuclear power plant at Fatehabad has been acquired. "The construction work will start in next six months," he said.
