The Andhra Pradesh High Court directed the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to submitan affidavit detailing solar power tariffs charged to other states when Andhra Pradesh agreed to procure 7 GW at INR 2.49 (~ $ 0.0274) per unit. SECI was also instructed to provide related orders issued by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC).

SECI confirmed this was the agreed price, noting other states paid between INR 2.01 (~ $ 0.0221) and INR 2.52 (~ $ 0.0277) per unit. Petitioners argued Andhra Pradesh’s rate was higher than Gujarat’s INR 1.99 (~ $ 0.0219) per unit.
