Non-performing assets (NPAs) in the power sector, especially in thermal projects, have grown significantly due to projects not delivering adequate returns to cover interest on loans. Power projects are also plagued by issues such as non-availability of regular fuel supply arrangements, lack of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), inability of promoters to invest equity and working capital, and regulatory and contractual issues.
