Mumbai: In a win for Adani Power and GMR Warora Energy, the Supreme Court allowed compensation on account of change in law for non-supply of committed domestic coal. The SC on Friday dismissed appeals filed by Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL) and upheld a judgment of the appellate tribunal of electricity (APTEL) in favour of the two power companies.
The SC, after hearing senior counsel A M Singhvi for Adani, and senior counsel M G Ramchandran for MSEDCL, observed that the litigation filed by MSEDCL is unwarranted when there are clear guidelines by the ministry of power and committee of economic affairs on the issue. The SC bench of Justice Bhushan Gavai and Justice Vikram Nath passed the judgment in two appeals filed in 2021 by MSEDCL.
