Generation capacity addition target of 88,537 MW has been fixed for the 12th Five Year Plan from conventional sources. The target for generation capacity addition for the year 2013-14 was 18,432.3 MW. These targets have not been revised by the Planning Commission.

The following steps have been taken by Ministry of Power, Government of India for timely completion of power projects:

Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is monitoring the progress of construction of the power projects through frequent site visits and interaction with the developers and equipment suppliers. In addition, CEA holds review meetings periodically with the developers and other stakeholders and identifies issues critical to commissioning of projects and helps in resolving them.
A Power Project Monitoring Panel (PPMP) has been set up by the Ministry of Power for independent monitoring of Thermal and Hydro Generation projects targeted for commissioning during the 12th Plan and beyond along with the associated transmission system.
Regular reviews are undertaken by the Ministry of Power at various levels including Ministry of Heavy Industries, Planning Commission and Cabinet Secretariat to identify the problem areas and facilitate faster resolution of inter-ministerial and other outstanding issues.
