A 2010 global event had far-reaching effects on the Indian energy sector, when a change in Indonesian law affected the commercial viability of power plants in India that were based on imported Indonesian coal. There were serious implications for private participation in the electricity sector, which was slowly moving toward liberalization and privatization. The issue was convoluted and became all the more serious when, in 2017, a compensatory tariff allowed by regulatory bodies to provide relief for the increased coal prices was disallowed by the Supreme Court of India within the contractual framework.

Learning Objectives

This case is designed for a mature audience at the postgraduate and executive education levels. It can be used in courses on public policy, public–private partnerships, infrastructure management, and contract management. This case is also suitable for inclusion in a context-specific course, especially one that discusses the Indian electricity sector, public–private partnerships, or an intersection of these topics. After completion of this case and assignment questions, students will be able to
  • gain awareness about the evolution of the Indian electricity sector;
  • understand contractual obligations and the possibility of differences in letter and spirit;
  • recognize the short- and long-term needs and implications of renegotiating long-term infrastructure concessions contracts; and
  • develop an unbiased view on contract renegotiation.
