The central government will have the final say in disputes arising out of the Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) by both public and private sector power companies, according to sources. Coal India has modified the clauses concerning supply disputes which put the private sector at par with PSUs, a source with a power utility told PTI.

According to the model FSA circulated in November, 2012, Coal India had the right to terminate the supply contract for private power sector consumers with a three-month notice in case there was no consensus during a joint review.
