The Economic Times newspaper had earlier reported that four state governments had slapped a fine of Rs 400 crore on the company's unit for delays in setting up the power project and had threatened to encash bank guarantees as well as terminate the power purchase agreements.

The project, which depends on imported coal from Indonesia, has been delayed after India changed rules to benchmark the export price to the international market, thereby pushing up fuel costs for the proposed plant, which was expected to sell power to states at a fixed price.
