The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday directed the power distribution companies (DISCOMs) to make payment of all pending and future bills to independent power producers in the renewable sector at the rates mentioned in the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) within six weeks, and set aside an order passed by a single judge earlier wherein the interim tariffs have been fixed at ₹2.44 per unit of solar power and ₹2.43 for wind power.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice N. Jayasurya observed that the reason for the poor financial condition of the DISCOMs might be different than the tariffs fixed in the PPAs.
