KADAPA, AP, Nov 14: The pending project work of the ongoing sixth unit of 600 MW of RTPP (Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project) will be completed in 20 months, AP Generation Corporation Managing Director K Vijayanand has said.
Addressing different meetings of village sarpanchs, villagers, workers and officials of RTPP yesterday, Vijayanand said the sixth unit works are pending for some time due to various technical and non-technical issues.

The 1,600 MW works of Krishnapatnam will be completed by March 2014, he said.
