BOMBAY, May 9 (Reuters) - Families of executives overseeing U.S. energy giant 
Enron Corp's troubled Dabhol Power Company (DPC) project in India are leaving 
the country, possibly signalling an intention to terminate the nearly 
complete $2.9 billion project, an India newspaper said on Wednesday. 
The Times of India said the children of Enron executives had been pulled out 
of the American School in Bombay as their families were being relocated to 
Singapore.
It also said security around the expatriate executives had been tightened, 
and personal bodyguards assigned to senior executives. 
But the unsourced report said it was not clear if the decision to move the 
families out of Bombay was made by Houston-based Enron, or reflected personal 
decisions made by the executives themselves. 
A spokesman for Dabhol Power Co, the operator of the nearly complete 2,184 MW 
power plant south of Bombay, told Reuters it was company policy not to 
comment on administrative and personnel matters. 
The newspaper said security had been tightened because "there is likely to be 
a tremendous backlash against representatives of the U.S.-based energy 
company" if the project was terminated. 
It said "more than 15,000 jobs in Dabhol will be lost if a decision is taken 
either to terminate the project or stop construction on Phase II". 
The project is mired in controversy after the Maharashtra State Electricity 
Board (MSEB) reneged on its commitment to buy all the power produced by the 
giant plant, saying it is too costly. 
MSEB has also defaulted on monthly payments to DPC for the electricity it has 
taken, forcing the company's board last month to authorise the management to 
terminate the contract.

 ship's company " if the project was terminated. 
 It said " more than 15,000 jobs in Dabhol will be lose if a decision is taken 
 either to terminate the project or hold on construction on Phase II ".

 Board (MSEB) reneged on its commitment to buy all the baron produced by the 
 giant plant, saying it is too dearly-won. 
 MSEB has also default on monthly payments to DPC for the electricity it has
