Tariff instability, delayed payment hinder KPTCL’s plans to venture into InvITs

The Hindu  

Tariff instability will be one of the main challenges faced by the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited as it plans to bring in private entities into the State’s transmission network, Infrastructure Investment Trust funds, for the first time. “Ensuring tariff stability and visibility is critical for securing in-principal approvals, and hence KPTCL will engage with KERC to explore necessary regulatory adjustments,” said Pankaj Kumar Pandey, managing director, KPTCL. The funds raised could be utilised to fuel further growth in transmission infrastructure across the State, as well as for other strategic objectives, in alignment with the goals of the Karnataka government,” said Mr. Pandey. While the proposal awaits government approval, KPTCL has already initiated discussions with POWERGRID Infrastructure Investment Trust to achieve its asset monetisation goals.
