He urged Goyal to allocate 200 mw power from NTPC, Ramagundam from the unallocated quota. As the first phase, Krishnapatnam thermal power plant with 800 mw installed capacity was on trial, Dattatraya said and wanted the Centre to allocate 52 Per cent (450 mw) to Telangana on priority basis under the Power Purchase agreement (PPA).
