The All India Power Exchange Federation (AIPEF) has announced it will challenge Haryana’s order to privatise power generation, warning that the move could harm traders and consumers.
The All India Power Exchange Federation (AIPEF) has declared that it will take a ‘tooth‑and‑nail’ legal battle against the Haryana government’s recent order to privatise power generation.
The order, issued by the state’s power ministry, aims to transfer ownership of several state‑run power plants to private entities. AIPEF says the move could disrupt the existing power trading framework and disadvantage traders.
Representatives of AIPEF have warned that the privatisation could lead to higher tariffs for consumers and create uncertainty in the market.
The federation has indicated that it will file a petition in the High Court of Haryana and may seek a stay on the order pending the outcome of the litigation.
