Speed up electricity tariff orders: Centre to States
The power ministry has written to 18 states and union territories, asking them to issue electricity tariff orders for the current year in line with provisions under the Electricity Act immediately.
The Centre had asked state regulatory commissions to issue tariff orders of all distribution licensees before April 1 of the tariff year and report compliance to the union power ministry by May 31 every year. Nearly 14 states have issued tariff orders in March while some others are in the process, sources said.
