17. Future/Undergoing projects
• The Government of India is planning nine Ultra Mega
Power Projects (UMPP) of 4 GW each with an estimated
individual investment of US$ 4 billion (Rs. 192 billion).
Four of these projects are expected to be commissioned
between 2011 and 2017. The UMPP is an initiative by
