N T P C LTD. vs CEN.ELECT REGUL.COMMN.. — C.A. No. 3550/2007

Case Summary: NTPC LTD v. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission Hearing Date: 2 December 2010 Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of NTPC's appeal by remitting the matter back to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity for reconsideration. The Tribunal had previously rejected NTPC's claim for Rs. 370.30 crores in capital expenditure (as of April 1, 2004) for establishing corporate and regional offices, deeming it too late to raise. The Court found that two critical issues were not addressed by the Tribunal: (1) whether NTPC could claim future benefits from the capital expenditure despite the retrospective period bar, and (2) whether applicable regulations permit such claims at all. The Court directed the Tribunal to specifically record findings on these concurrent, inter-connected issues and decide expeditiously.
