RK Singh, the Union Power Minister, met with financiers, state government officials, and power project developers on Monday, with the goal of restarting roughly 5 GW of non-operational plants within a month.

“A clear path for all other plants has been decided,” a senior official said, “barring one or two facilities that are not practical to run because they have been shut down for 5-6 years and will require roughly one year to revive.” “Within a month, the plants should be up and running.”
