NTPC Ltd pulled out of the project a month ago saying it was unable to supply procured power at the agreed cost, The Hindu reported on 25 January. According to the agreement, NTPC was to buy 600MW from six developers at Rs4.80, and supply it to state electricity supply companies at a bundled tariff of Rs3.30 per unit. The move left the state government looking for fresh bids. Other setbacks include the postponing of auctions for 1,200MW capacity and legal complications with another 860MW.
