Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity's order regarding tariff determination by the Damodar Valley Corporation under Section 61 and 62 of the Electricity Act, 2003, and relevant provisions of the Damodar Valley Corporation Act, 1948. The Court held that the CERC's authority to determine tariffs is valid and that the Corporation must comply with the regulatory framework established by the 2003 Act. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision on tariff fixation.
