Summary:
—-
### Key Procedural Developments
#### 1. **Compliance Status**
– The counsel for DTL informed the Commission that the additional information requested by CERC in its previous order (RoP dated 20.11.2025) had been submitted via an affidavit dated January 8, 2026.
– DTL also requested permission to file comprehensive **Written Submissions** to consolidate their arguments.
#### 2. **Response from Respondents (BRPL & BYPL)**
– The counsel representing the power distribution companies BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), who are respondents in the older petition (No. 175/TT/2017), requested additional time to file their reply.
### Commission’s Directives
The Commission issued the following orders to move the matter towards a final decision:
– **Final Opportunity for Replies:** The respondents, including BRPL and BYPL, were granted a **final opportunity** to file their replies in both petitions within **two weeks**. This implies that no further extensions are likely to be granted.
– **Rejoinder:** DTL may file its rejoinder (response to the replies) within **one week** thereafter.
– **Written Submissions:** All parties (DTL and the respondents) are permitted to file their respective Written Submissions after exchanging copies with each other, also within a **two-week** timeline.
– **Orders Reserved:** Subject to the completion of the above pleading process (replies, rejoinders, and written submissions), the Commission has **reserved its orders** in these matters.
### Business Implications and Conclusion
This proceeding marks the final procedural stage before a substantive order is issued. For the stakeholders involved:
– **For DTL (Petitioner):** The path is now clear to present its final arguments through Written Submissions. The next step is to wait for the Commission’s order on the tariff true-up and determination, which will impact its revenue stream for the 2024-29 period.
– **For BRPL, BYPL, and other Respondents:** This is the absolute deadline to file their replies. Failure to do so could result in the Commission proceeding without their input, potentially leading to a tariff determination that is not favorable to them.
– **For the Industry:** The final order, once issued, will set a precedent for the tariff treatment of these inter-state transmission assets, impacting the transmission charges payable by the beneficiaries in the region.
