NEW DELHI: Has environment become an impediment to growth? Government data brought out by the Centre for Science and Environment on Thursday paints a completely contrasting picture. The data is staggering. Till date, environmental clearances have been given for 210,000 MW of thermal power capacity — 60,000 MW more than the capacity addition targeted for the 12th five-year Plan ending 2017. This is seven times the capacity actually brought on line till date under the 11th Plan.
Staggering number of green nods given in last five years, says CSE
