Supreme Court Resolves Energy Dispute, Orders Punjab and Haryana to Supply Electricity to Himachal
The Supreme Court resolved a decades-old energy dispute among Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh related to Bhakra Beas Management Board projects since 1966. It approved 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 allocating Himachal a 7.19% share. Punjab initially opposed the 15-year payment plan, seeking 30 years, while Himachal preferred 10 years. An adjustment of Rs 420 crore for historical capital costs is included, with Himachal not liable to pay Punjab or Haryana.
