Preparing for summers: Haryana regulator flags data gaps, puts power purchase on hold
Haryana’s power regulator has raised serious concerns over state power utilities’ short-term power procurement strategy, pointing out discrepancies in the power demand and supply availability data provided by the Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC).
In a March 17 interim order, the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) stopped short of approving HPPCs proposal to purchase 1,345 MW round the clock short term power from May 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026, at ₹6.10 per unit and sought detailed clarifications.
