Haryana Grants 25-Year Parallel Power Distribution Licence to Eleven Power in Gurugram, Nuh
The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has granted Eleven Power Pvt Ltd a 25-year parallel electricity distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh, allowing over 830,000 consumers to choose between two power suppliers. The private company plans to invest Rs 4,717 crore over five years, focusing on renewable energy and modern infrastructure. The Haryana government and energy department employees oppose the move, citing concerns over privatisation and consumer impact, and plan to challenge the order. Consumer switching will follow an approved migration protocol once Eleven Power's network becomes operational.
