All-India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) has expressed concern over the Union Power Ministry move to bring a new legislation to replace the existing Indian Electricity Act, 2003.
The AIPEF has demanded that the Central government discuss the proposed legislation with power engineers and employees before issuing the draft bill for comments of all stakeholders.
Union Minister of State for Power RK Singh had recently said that the proposed bill would have provision for ease of doing business and ensure viability of investments through assured payment mechanisms and was expected to be tabled in the winter session of Parliament.
