New Delhi: With electricity demand picking up, state power distribution utilities are ending the force majeure period and have restarted power purchases they had earlier suspended.
However, private power companies have started exploring legal options to contest non-payment of fixed charges by states for about 60 days of the force majeure event, sources said.
Senior officials in private power firms said they have begun seeking legal opinions for sending notices to power distribution companies as power bills for supply in March have started getting due.
