The former Dabhol power project, now called Ratnagiri Gas and Power Pvt Ltd, has been closed since July 15 for want of gas. The power generation utility is spread over 1,500 hectare of land near the Arabian sea in the scenic Ratnagiri district.

That way, they don't have to worry about assured wages.
