APP cries foul over change in discom bidding guidelines
NEW DELHI: The power sector has heavily criticised recent changes to bidding guidelines governing the privatisation of Chandigarh’s power distribution company (discom). These changes included an extension of the window for submitting eligible bids for the company.
In a letter sent to the Union power ministry and the Chandigarh Union Territory’s administrator by the Association of Power Producers (APP), the industry body said that the tweaks, which were made after the end of initial deadline for submitting bids, vitiate the sanctity of the entire process and sets a bad precedent.
