NTPC Ltd's six gas-fired power stations in the North and the West are facing fuel supply disruptions following the flooding at ONGC's Hazira gas complex. According to company officials, operations had to be scaled down due to the gas supply disruption. The company is exploring the possibility of using liquid fuel (naphtha) to counter the gas shortage if the situation persisted, they said.

The projects affected are the 645-MW Kawas and the 648-MW Jhanor-Gandhar projects in Gujarat, the 652-MW Auraiya and 817-MW Dadri projects in Uttar Pradesh, the 413-MW Anta project in Rajasthan and the 430-MW Faridabad station in Haryana. The plants are running at around 40 per cent capacity in light of the fuel supply disruptions, officials said.
