Ministry of Defense (MoD) has issued a circular regarding submission of applications for Defense Clearance for the Power Projects (Hydel, Thermal, Wind & Gas) by both private and PSUs through nodal Ministries only rather than the direct submission to MoD.
As stated by MoD under the circular, majority of the applications for defense clearance are submitted to MoD by the companies directly without keeping the nodal Ministries i.e Power Ministry and MNRE in the picture.
Hence, it has been decided that MoD will now accept the applications for grant/renewal for defense clearance for construction of Power Projects (Hydel, Thermal, Solar, Wind & Gas) through nodal Ministries only in order to verify the credentials/bonafied of the projects and the developers/proponents.
Thus, the Nodal Ministries have been requested to advise all the stakeholders accordingly.
While forwarding the applications for defense clearance, nodal Ministries should ensure that 11 sets of complete application are forwarded to MoD.
Besides, for Hydro Projects, companies may be advised to furnish details of likely areas getting submerged due to the proposed project, number of roads/infrastructure getting affected and plans for reconstruction affected roads and other infrastructure.
