HERC grants 25-year parallel power distribution licence for Gurugram, Nuh to Eleven Power
- The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has granted Eleven Power Private Limited a parallel distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh revenue districts for 25 years under Section 14 of the Electricity Act, 2003.
HERC granted a 25-year parallel power-distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh to a private company, alongside the existing state discom. Over time this can give residents a second electricity supplier; tariffs, the coverage area and rollout timing are what to watch. Update (23 Oct): after a strike by power employees, the state government assured them there would be no privatisation (ThePrint), so whether this licence is actually rolled out is now uncertain. Talks resume on 3 Nov.
