It also stated that BHEL would have the right to impose liquidated damages at the rate of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay or part thereof, up to a maximum of 10% of the contract value, if JIIPL fails to maintain the required progress of work and causes a delay in the completion of the work.

The project, as far as full operation and maintenance (O&M) work is concerned, constitutes the largest initiative for JIIPL, according to the business.
