Private power producers demand level playing field in allocation of transmission projects
NEW DELHI: The Independent Power Producers Association of India (IPPAI) has shot off a letter to the Power Ministry demanding level playing field for private sector players via-a-vis state-run Power Grid Corporation of IndiaNSE 0.21 % (PGCIL) in allocation of electricity transmission projects.
“We seek your suo moto intervention in this matter in the interest of maintaining a level playing field in this segment (transmission) of the power sector and to stop the misuse of public funds which are procured at very low costs (by PGCIL) from multilateral agencies against sovereign guarantees of the Government of India,” IPPAI said in its letter written earlier this week to the power secretary.
