(a) to (c) : Satpura Thermal Power Station No. 1 in Madhya
Pradesh is a joint venture of Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board
(MPEB) and Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) sharing
benefit/cost in the ratio of 60% and 40% respectively between the
two Boards. As MPEB is consuming the RSEB`s share of energy
generated in Satpura station, RSEB is making adjustment of the
cost of energy consumed by MPEB from RSEB`s share in O&M
expenditure of Satpura station. As per RSEB account, Rs. 49.71
crores (upto 31.3.2000) is recoverable from MPEB on this account.
