Gas dispute case: RNRL seeks NTPC as party

New Delhi, Sep 17: Anil Ambani-led RNRL asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Sep 16 to make state run NTPC Ltd as party to its ongoing case against Mukesh Ambani-led RIL.

"RNRL and NTPC are taking the same stand to oppose the dishonest stand taken by RIL to avoid its obligation to supply gas to both the companies," the application by RNRL said.

Both RNRL and NTPC are seeking gas from RIL's Krishna-Godavari D6 oilfields at a price of $2.34 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), while RIL argues that the price needs government approval.

The Supreme Court is to commence final hearings on the matter on Oct 20, 2009.
