Vedanta said it will keep open the option to partner prospective companies in the venture.<\/p>\n<p>Vedanta has asked interested companies to submit plans by the first week of September. The fly ash will come from the coal-based power plants owned by Sterlite Industries, a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources.<\/p>\n<p>According to Vedanta\u2019s statement, the power plants will generate about 8MT of fly ash. Industry experts said that a tonne of fly ash produces an equal amount of cement. But the by-product from Sterlite\u2019s plants may also be used to feed brick manufacturing units and other ash utilising units in and around Jharsguda, said executives.<\/p>\n<p>Sterlite had recently floated an energy subsidiary &#8211; Sterlite Energy &#8211; to build thermal power plants in Orissa\u2019s Jharsguda district, with a combined capacity of 2,400 MW.<\/p>\n<p>The power plants, to be built at an investment of $2 billion, will come up by 2009, Sterlite had announced earlier. Sterlite had earlier this year raised about $2 billion in the US market, to be mainly used for funding the power projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following it an extract from a report from Ecomic Times.
