New Delhi: The rebate that state-owned power generators and transmission companies have offered to state distribution companies is only a one-time contribution to support business continuity in an unprecedented situation and prevent litigations, the power ministry has said.
The rebate was on fixed charges for power drawn by discoms during the 40 days of complete nationwide lockdown period, the ministry clarified in response to ET’s queries.
Almost all states have been drawing lesser electricity than normal during the lockdown period.
