certificate given by Tehsildar thus does not appear to the correct. It needs further
verification Deputy Commissioner Gurgaon to be informed accordingly.

assured by any power utility. The project proponent has proposed a coal based captive
power plant of 75 MW which does not appear to be feasible and could require separate

water from NCR canal which the project proponent is claiming. Therefore the project
proponent has to obtain prior permission from CGWA for utilizing the ground water.
The above points being crucial to the environment needs further examination and appraisal.
It was therefore decided to refer back this case to SEAC to further examine and appraise
this project on the aspects explained above.
