HC orders restoration of 300 Mw supply to AP from Karnataka

Supply was stopped on March 31, 2014, after Karnataka govt withdrew NOC due to supply-demand mismatch within AP

The Andhra Pradesh High Court today asked the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Center (SRLDC) to restore supply of 300 Mw power to AP from Jindal Power plant in Karnataka.

The supply was stopped from March 31, 2014, after the Karnataka government withdrew the No Objection Certificate (NOC) owing to the supply-demand mismatch being experienced within the state.

AP Central Power Distribution Company Limited (APCPDCL) had entered into an agreement with JSWPTC last year for supply of 300 Mw to AP for a period from  May 31, 2013, to May 29, 2014.
