APTEL allows JSW Hydro’s construction-period interest claim
As filed · JSW Energy Limited has informed the Exchange about update on Material litigation under Regulation 30(4) of the Securities Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regu
What happened
FactAPTEL set aside CERC’s 17 March 2022 order that had disallowed JSW Hydro Energy Limited’s claim for notional interest on equity exceeding 30% infused during construction. The tribunal allowed the claim, directed that carrying cost be calculated from the true-up petition filing date until adjustment, and remanded the additional IDC data for CERC’s prudence check.
