The Delhi High Court has annulled a May 2025 judgment that mandated the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to release higher Generation-Based Incentives (GBI). The prior order supporting the Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited has been rendered ineffective. The appellate bench, led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya, has ruled that the valid GBI tariff was INR 15.84/kWh (~$0.17/kWh) as fixed by the MNRE committee in 2013. This decision replaces the earlier computation based on the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission’s tariff of INR 17.91/kWh (~$0.20/kWh). According to MNRE, CSPDCL had accepted the INR 15.84/kWh (~$0.17/kWh) rate through prior correspondence and failed to contest it within the prescribed limitation period. The court has further stated that recovery claims barred under civil law cannot be pursued under writ jurisdiction, allowing the appeals filed by IREDA and MNRE.
