New Delhi: As much as ₹3 trillion of investment in a dozen private power plants is at risk of turning into NPA as state discoms buying power have not been making payment for months, official data and sources said.
According to data available on the PRAAPTI portal of the power ministry, 12 power plants of private firms such as GMR and Adani Group and public sector generators like NTPC Ltd have about ₹41,730 crore outstanding from state distribution companies (discoms) as of December 2018.
Dues as on date run into an estimated ₹60,000 crore, half of it being towards independent power producers in the power sector.
