Currently, the Rajasthan Discerns are in process of the verification of the claim documents submitted by APRL to determine the final tariff compensation. Accordingly, APRL has not recognised any additional tariff compensation revenue based on Hon`ble Supreme Court order.

GUVNL has filed curative petition with Supreme Court in the matter. In meantime, Government of Gujarat ("GoG"), vide its resolution (G.R.) dated 12th June, 2020, has revoked and superseded its earlier G.R. dated ,st December, 2018, basis which APMul and GUVNL had signed Bid 1 and Bid 2 Supplementary Power Purchase Agreements ("SPPAs") in December 2018 and started to withheld payments due to APMul. On 28th June, 2021. CERC issued an interim order and directed GUVNL to pay 100% of the undisputed amounts and 85% of the disputed amounts within 30 days of the order.
