In Karnataka, which is also India’s top solar state, 970 MW of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) projects have been embroiled in a tariff dispute. This situation arose after the procurers and power traders could not arrive at a mutually agreed tariff for the sale of power generated from these projects. However,  the timely intervention by the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) saved the day for Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
