June 7, 2012. The Akhilesh Yadav government gave an 18 months extension to 9 power projects for which MoU's were signed during the previous Mayawati regime but failed to take off. All nine projects were stuck up due to lack of coal linkages something that the private developer had promised to arrange on their own. They now expect the state government to push for their case with the central government for speedier allotment of coal mines. Atleast three of these nine projects also had issues related to insufficient land acquisition and water availability.
