The Maharashtra Cabinet subcommittee on May 6, 2010 intervened to resolve the ongoing dispute between Tata Power and Reliance Infrastructure over power purchase. It has asked Tata Power to maintain status quo by continuing to supply 460 Mw to Reliance Infrastructure till June at the regulated price of Rs 4.40 per unit in interest of the consumers.
Tata has been told in no uncertain terms that the company should not sell surplus power through the traded route, but plainly through regulatory rates. After meeting requirement of BrihanMumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) and Tata Power distribution company, the subcommittee has asked Tata Power to supply the remaining available power from its Mumbai generation to Reliance at the rate fixed by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).
