Power Transmission Developers Seek Relief for Delays from Interconnected Infrastructure Issues
Private power transmission developers have urged India's Ministry of Power to strengthen the role of the Central Transmission Utility of India Ltd (CTUIL) and provide automatic financial and contractual relief for projects delayed due to interconnected infrastructure unavailability. The Electric Power Transmission Association (EPTA) seeks changes to the tariff-based competitive bidding framework, including deemed commercial operation dates, full tariff recovery, and protection against penalties when delays arise from separately awarded interconnected facilities, highlighting the interdependence of transmission projects.
