Protesters Oppose Parallel Power Distribution Licence Proposal in Nuh and Gurugram
In Nuh and Gurugram, DISCOM employees, farmers, and power engineers protested against the proposed grant of a parallel power distribution licence to Eleven Power Private Limited. They opposed the creation of an Agri DISCOM and the implementation of smart metering, submitting a memorandum to the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) demanding rejection of the licence application and dissolution of the Expert Committee. Protesters argued that allowing private firms to use the public distribution network selectively could weaken state utilities, increase consumer tariffs, and undermine equitable electricity supply.
