MUMBAI: Adani Transmission Ltd (ATL) on Saturday invited suggestions and objections from the public for grant of a power distribution licence in more areas of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, including Mulund, Bhandup, parts of Thane district, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Kharghar, Taloja and Uran.
This is an attempt by ATL to venture into new territories across MMR and give competition to the state-run power utility, MSEDCL (formerly MSEB), which has been distributing electricity in these areas for over six decades.
ATL’s new subsidiary, Adani Electricity Navi Mumbai Ltd (AENML), recently filed an application before Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) for grant of a distribution licence in the newly identified areas.
