JSA Advocates & Solicitors (“JSA”) successfully represented Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (“UPRVUNL”) (formerly Uttar Pradesh Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited) before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (“Hon’ble Tribunal”)in a significant matter concerning tariff payments for power supplied to Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited (“MPPMCL”).
The Hon’ble Tribunal, by its judgement dated April 13, 2026, allowed the appeal filed by UPRVUNL and held that the Learned Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (“Ld. CERC”) erred in directing MPPMCL to pay only Operation and Maintenance Charges (“O&M Charges”) to UPRVUNL instead of the entire tariff for the power supplied by UPRVUNL to MPPMCL.
This judgment resolves the long-standing dispute between the States of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in respect of power supply from UPRVUNL’s Rihand Hydro Electric Project and Matatila HEP to MPPMCL. Such supply was based on the Central Zonal Council’s minutes of the meeting held in July 1963. The tariff for supply was earlier decided vide Sachdeva Committee’s meeting held in March 1964 along with CZC’s meeting held in September 1964.
The JSA team was led by Amit Kapur, Partner and Akshat Jain, Partner, with support from Shikhar Verma, Senior Associate.
