New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Adani Power Ltd to argue its case for compensatory tariff for power supplied to Haryana discoms in the Appellate Tribunal Electricity (Aptel). The company wanted higher tariff as coal imported from Indonesia became costlier due to “unforeseeable and unprecedented” factors like change of law.
The court also asked Adani Power not to seek cancellation of the contract because of the change in the situation. Thus, all the pleas will go back to Aptel for a second time. The litigation, which shuttled between Aptel and the Supreme Court, started when the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission allowed the company’s plea for compensatory tariff two years ago, and the discoms opposed it.
