New rules to empower states to buy power on short term contract

BHUBANESWAR: The Ministry of Power has promulgated the Electricity (Transmission System Planning, Development, and Recovery of Inter-State Transmission Charges) Rules-2021 to pave way for power sector utilities to easily access the electricity transmission network across the country.

In a major deviation from the present system of taking transmission access, the power plants will no longer have to specify their target beneficiaries.
