The government was likely to announce the process for selecting developers for two more ultra mega power projects (UMPP) this year, Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh said here today.
"The process (for selection of developer) could start for the two UMPPs in Orissa and Tamil Nadu in 2009," Ramesh told reporters here.
