KE officials are of the view that the impact of FCA would have been far more, if electricity between the ranges, ie, 1000-1100 MW was not supplied from the national grid.

CPPA-G official was of the view that since prices of RLNG, furnace oil and coal have increased by a manifold, their impact has to be passed on the consumers.
