Operations of India's Kudankulam nuclear plant get further delayed
Protest further delayed the commercial operation of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project.
It is now expected to commence next month.
The first unit has achieved 99.7 percent physical progress as of December.
Similarly, the second unit designed to produce another 1000 MW has been pushed to September this year.
Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission Ratan Kumar Sinha recently said the first unit would be commissioned this month.
The plant, being built with Russian reactors, has already missed several deadlines since it was originally scheduled for December 2011.
The over 500-day long protest citing safety concerns against the plant is spearheaded by the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy.
