Ombudsman rules in favour of IOC and asks Tangedco to refund excess amount
Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman has ruled in favour of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) Limited by stating that Tangedco could not change the tariff category without nod from the State power regulator.
In its petition, IOC said it owns and operates Chennai-Trichy-Madurai cross country product pipeline installation at Asanur availing tariff under HT-III category. After obtaining factory licence, the company said it had requested for tariff change and as per the regulations of Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC), its installation was categorised under HT-IA from April 1, 2012 onwards till August 2019, it added.
