1. NTPC Vs. Coal India - Clash of the Titans?


In a very interesting development in 2013, NTPC held back its payments to Coal India citing poor coal quality - A chunk of coal samples contained stones and rocks instead of coal. This increases the cost of power generation for NTPC. Coal India responded by stopping the supply of coal to NTPC for a brief period thereby jeopardizing the power supply to Eastern & Northern grids.
