Frame rules for fixing electricity tariff in 3 months: Supreme Court to state panels
The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed all the state electricity regulatory commissions to frame within three months rules under the Electricity Act-2003 on the terms and conditions for determination of tariff.
The ruling came while the court dismissed an appeal by Tata Power Company Limited Transmission, challenging the February 18, 2022 order of the Appellate Tribunal that had dismissed an appeal filed by it against the decision of Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) under the Act to grant transmission licence to Adani Electricity Mumbai Infra Limited (AEMIL) for setting up a 1,000 MW High Voltage Direct Current (Voltage Source Converter based) link.
