Dear Gopal,
Enron project when it came online started billing MSEB at Rs8.00/kwh which was very high and MSEB could not afford to pay thus the project fell through. Part of the problem was Naptha fuel was very expensive, other part was promoters were greedy(Enron folks are resting in jail). Now it is a gas based plant, and supplies at Rs 3.00/ kwh.
However, there is a shortage of gas and so it can not operate at full capacity either.
So you see why Nuclear fuel has to be resorted to? Nuclear is about same cost as Gas based plants.
