States oppose tariff hike for Tata, Adani imported coal-based power plants
Tata Power may have to wait longer for relief to its imported coal-based power projects in Gujarat as Punjab and Haryana have opposed tariff hike to the plants while the host state has set up a committee to look into the matter. Earlier, Maharashtra government had decided to take opinion from the national auditor or vigilance commission before signing a report that recommends tariff hike for the projects. The state governments' stand could also delay judgment on tariff-hike plea made by Adani Power for its imported coal- based project that is also being heard by power regulator Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC)
