Dispute resolution panel to be set up for solar, wind projects implemented by SECI, NTPC

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has decided to set up a three-member dispute resolution committee (DRC) to look into disputes beyond contractual agreements between solar or wind power developers and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) or state-run power giant NTPC.

This mechanism will cover all those projects that would be implemented through or by SECI and NTPC.

Solar and wind power industries have been demanding such a dispute resolution mechanism.
