Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NCL) has arrogated Rs 150 crore in liquidated damages from BHEL for the technical problems in Thermal Power Station-II expansion. The 2x250MW project has been delayed due to technical reasons and BHEL, the main plant package contractor, has taken up rectification work.
The projects first unit was synchronised last November but was shut down for setting right the refractory and coil supports. But BHEL has committed to start the unit in December this year.
