IndusLaw successfully represented Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL). The APTEL's ruling has clarified the jurisdiction of State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERC) concerning disputes between distribution licensees and their franchisees. The judgment, delivered on October 10, 2024, upheld the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission's order, confirming that the SERC lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate such disputes or set the terms of Distribution Franchise Agreements. This decision emphasizes that Section 86 of the Electricity Act, 2003 applies specifically to disputes between licensees and generating companies, not between a distribution licensee and a franchisee. The IndusLaw team included Partner Shashwat Kumar, Principal Associate Rahul Chouhan, and Associates Shikha Sood and Harshit Gupta, and the arguments were led by Senior Counsel Buddy A. Ranganadhan.
