Thereafter, they will have to come through normal tendering process where
ceiling limits will apply as there is no provision for extension beyond 5 years.

(iit) The licensees who do not opt for conversion into MPS will be allowed to
continue till expiry of the existing agreement/arrangement in vogue.
Thereafter the concerned unit will be allotted as per the provisions of new
