Supreme Court Resolves Bhakra Beas Power Dispute, Allocates Electricity to Himachal Pradesh
The Supreme Court resolved a decades-long energy dispute between Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana over Bhakra Beas Management Board projects. The court accepted the Centre's cashless proposal for Punjab and Haryana to supply Himachal Pradesh with 11,973 million units of electricity over 20 years, based on a 2011 verdict fixing Himachal's share at 7.19%. The settlement includes a Rs 420 crore adjustment for historical capital costs, with Himachal not required to pay Punjab or Haryana. The decision is expected to boost Himachal's revenue significantly.
