The case outlines a series of issues that arise in a new steel plant in India. The workers in the steel plant refuse to move between machines during shifts and collude with one another in order to ensure that employees work overtime. Additionally, the plant suffered from a lack of reliable water and power. The protagonist of the case must persuade the Board to get a substantial budgetary allocation of around 100 crores for replacing part of the traditional energy sources with renewable energy
