By the year-end, the state would get 2000 MW and within two and a half years the state would be in a position to sell electricity to other states, he told reporters in Kolhapur on Tuesday.

Patil said that during 1994, NCP President Sharad Pawar was keen on Enron project. But Congress had not supported him and hence the state plunged into power crisis.
