800 MW ‘to Rajasthan’? The paperwork says proposed
SCCL’s own document shows a planned Telangana–Rajasthan power venture, not a completed sale. Harish Rao’s farmer-supply allegations remain unverified.
The SCCL–RVUNL power venture remains described as proposed in the document reviewed.
The Congress government’s supposed 800 MW giveaway to Rajasthan currently has one inconvenient detail: the paperwork says “proposed”.
An SCCL Expression of Interest dated March 2026 says the company is proposing a joint venture with Rajasthan’s RVUNL for 1,500 MW of solar capacity in Rajasthan and a 1×800 MW coal-based unit at the Singareni Thermal Power Project in Telangana. It proposes SCCL holding 74% and RVUNL 26%.
The document also lists support for signing a power purchase agreement with a Rajasthan distribution company. That means the sale arrangement, quantum and tariff were still being worked out. It does not establish that the 800 MW has already been sold, supplied or allocated exclusively to Rajasthan. An earlier report on the 2025 MoU said Rajasthan and Telangana would receive 800 MW each from a 1,600 MW thermal arrangement.
BRS leader Harish Rao has alleged that farmers are receiving only seven to nine hours of supply, and cited transformer failures, low voltage and pending agricultural connections. Those claims have been reported, but the research contains no official feeder data, outage records or transformer registers to verify them. The Telangana government, SCCL and Rajasthan authorities have not publicly answered the criticism in the material reviewed.
The project is proposed. The outrage is already generating power.
