Haryana halts Eleven Power distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh

The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission has stopped work on the parallel power distribution licence granted to Eleven Power for the districts of Gurugram and Nuh. This action comes after direct orders from the state government, creating a major roadblock for ongoing power sector reforms in the region.

Parallel distribution licences allow more than one company to supply electricity in the same area, giving customers a choice. Government intervention in such regulatory decisions often highlights the complex challenges involved in opening up utility markets to private firms.
