for power supply from its existing power stations (already commissioned). The details is
enclosed at Annexure-I. Status of signing of PPA for various ongoing and new projects

In future also, NTPC would continue to sell power to various beneficiaries
and sign Power Purchase Agreements for this purpose.
(c) & (d) : Union Cabinet constituted an Empowered Group of Ministers
(EGOM) to consider and decide all issues related to Dabhol Power Project. The
restructuring framework approved by EGOM inter alia included setting up of a `project
SPV` having equity contribution of Rs.500 crore each from NTPC, Gas Authority of
India Ltd. (GAIL) and Indian Financial Institutions (IFIs) to acquire the assets of Dabhol
Power Company (DPC), free of all encumbrances and past liabilities through the Debt
Recovery Tribunal (DRT)/Court process. Accordingly, a new Company, Ratnagiri Gas
and Power Private Ltd. (RGPPL) was incorporated on 8th July, 2005 under the
Companies Act, 1956 with NTPC and GAIL as promoters.
Detailed terms and conditions for acquiring the Dabhol Project assets were
mutually agreed between RGPPL, DPC, Indian Lenders to DPC and other related parties
and were filed in the Hon`ble High Court of Judicature at Mumbai in the Consent Petition
on 22nd of September, 2005. On the same day the Hon`ble Court passed its Order for the
transfer of assets of DPC to RGPPL. Thus RGPPL, currently having equity contribution
of Rs.500 crore each from NTPC, GAIL, IFIs and non-cash equity of Rs.265 crore of
MSEB Holding Company owns the Project and is responsible for its completion.
NTPC`s role in RGPPL is limited to its rights and obligations as one of its shareholder.
In addition, NTPC, through its consultancy division, is also providing its expert technical
services for early commissioning of the power plant as required by RGPPL on
commercial basis.
