The Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC) has granted post-facto approval to Uttarakhand Power Corporation (UPCL) for an additional investment of ₹4.23 billion (~$45.35 million) in projects sanctioned under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The Commission has directed the DISCOM to furnish each investment approval petition after clearance from the board of directors (BoD) for works to be taken up. It warned the DISCOM of action if it proceeded with projects without seeking the Commission’s approval.
