The power plants of NTPC and its joint ventures (JV) which have not signed FSAs include Dadri, Korba, Farakka, Simhadri, Bhilai JV and Sipat. Though these power plants of the power PSU have not signed pacts with CIL, most of them are drawing coal under MoU (Memorandum of Understanding), the ministry said.
