GRIDCO. LTD. vs INDIAN METAL & FERRO ALLOYS LTD. . — C.A. No. 6637/2008

Case Summary: GRIDCO Ltd. v. Indian Metal & Ferro Alloys Ltd. Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed GRIDCO's civil appeal on March 28, 2012, upholding the Orissa High Court's November 2006 judgment. The High Court had directed the Regulatory Commission to decide whether Indian Metal & Ferro Alloys Ltd. (IMFA) was liable for transmission charges given the absence of actual electricity wheeling from Choudwar to Theruvali, and set the transmission rate at 17.5 paise per unit (instead of 31 paise) for 2001-2002, subject to the Commission's liability determination. The Supreme Court found no error in the High Court's acceptance of GRIDCO's explanation justifying the reduced rate and noted any adjustment should be based on 17.5 paise per unit if the Commission ultimately finds IMFA liable.
