Captive power plant means power plant including generating sets if any installed by consumer of Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board (MPEB) for his own use.
ROADS
Transport plays a principal role in economic development of any area. A well laid-out road network is essential for efficient and cost effective movement of men and materials, without which trade and industry cannot maintain a competitive edge.
