Chandrababu Naidu clarified that land can not be given at Nizamapatnam as a port is planned there. He promised to consider giving the land at Kavali. Already a 10000 MW Nuclear Plant is coming up at Kovvada, Srikakulam district in association with Union government. 50 percent of power will be allocated to Andhra Pradesh.
On the other side, Tata Power which is generating 511 MW from all its units in the country, is planning to expand its investments in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh now. Tata Power representatives will be meeting Andhra Pradesh officials very soon with the detailed proposals of their plans. The projects are likely to come up in Rayalaseema.
