The Central Transmission Utility of India Limited (CTUIL), an arm of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, has raised the issue of non-payment of dues by Tangedco towards transmission charges.
In its recent letter to the Southern Regional Power Committee (SRPC), under the Central Electricity Authority, it has highlighted outstanding dues by the distribution companies in the Southern region totalling around ₹1,670.61 crore as on July 1, and sought the clearing of dues in time.
It pointed out that Tangedco has outstanding dues of ₹1,203.74 crore, out of which ₹928.03 crore has already crossed 45 days. An amount of ₹219.86 crore is disputed by Tangedco. Of this, ₹28.93 crore pertains to the billing for January 2021, for which Tangedco has moved the Madras High Court. As no stay has been granted as on date, CTUIL sought the release of payment.
