The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from the finance ministry, Central Board of Excise and Customs and others on Adani Power’s (Mundra) appeal seeking an exemption from customs duty levied on electricity generated and supplied from its 5,200 MW Mundra Special Economic Zone power plant to Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).
A Bench led by justice DY Chandrachud issued notice to the finance ministry, CBEC, Specified Officer Incharge of Mundra SEZ and others after Adani challenged the Gujarat High Court’s order that dismissed its refund petition on June 28 by ruling that its earlier 2015 judgment was limited to quashing of a particular notification and any relief with respect to the later notifications was not covered by that order.
