Since the supply of power by a Generating Company to Distribution Company is regulated under the provisions of Electricity Act, 2003, the Appellant on 30th August, 2011 filed a petition before the State Commission for approval of the said PPA.
Subsequently, the State Commission at the preliminary hearing sought some clarifications with regard to the factual aspects.
For supply of energy to this unit in SEZ Area VAL 2 , the Appellant entered into a PPA on 18th August, 2011 with Sterlite Energy Ltd. which was arrayed as Respondent No.4 in the Appeal.
However during the pendency of the Appeal under the scheme of merger approved by the High Court, Sterlite stood merged with the Appellant itself and because of this reason the Respondent No.4 hereinafter referred to as Sterlite has been deleted from the array of parties at the instance of the Appellant.
