India Power Generation Context
India's all-India power generation reached a record 1,848 billion units (BUs) in FY26, registering a growth of 1.0% over FY25, with a CAGR of approximately 5.1% over the last 13 years. Of the total FY26 generation, only 310 BUs (approximately 17%) was from Renewable Energy Sources (Wind + Solar + Small Hydro + Others), while the total installed capacity of renewable energy of 223 GW constitutes about 42% of the total installed capacity of 533 GW. Thermal coal-based power plants continue to be the backbone of electricity generation in the country. In Maharashtra, the average maximum power demand of MSEDCL increased slightly in FY26, with maximum demand reaching 26.0 GW in March 2026.
Regulatory and Legal Updates
RattanIndia Power continues to engage with Redeemable Preference Share (RPS) holders regarding the settlement of ₹250 crores. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) application against the company was disposed of in its favour by the NCLT in September 2025. However, an appeal by REC against the NCLT order concerning subsidiary PPDL remains pending. Regarding regulatory receivables, MSEDCL has paid ₹876.84 crore to date pursuant to a Supreme Court direction.
The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL), vide its judgment dated May 08, 2025 (modified on May 15, 2025), allowed the appeal of RattanIndia Power and recognised the following as Change in Law events:
| Change in Law Event: | Details |
|---|---|
| Ash Utilization Notifications: | MoEFCC notifications dated 25.01.2016, 31.12.2021, 30.12.2022 & 01.01.2024 mandating 100% ash utilization |
| Surface Transportation Charges: | Levy and increase in Surface Transportation Charges by SECL through Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries |
| Sizing Charges: | Levy and increase in Sizing Charges by SECL through Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries |
Consequently, the company filed a remand petition in MERC on July 10, 2025, seeking directions for MSEDCL to release payment towards the Change in Law claim on account of Ash Transportation and increases in Surface Transportation Charges and Sizing Charges. MSEDCL also filed a Civil Appeal in the Supreme Court on August 04, 2025, challenging the APTEL order. Both matters are currently pending adjudication.
Separately, an interim arbitration award of ₹115 crores was passed against the company in a dispute with Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL) relating to a supply and erection contract for the Amravati thermal power project. The company's petition challenging this award was dismissed by the Single Bench of the Delhi High Court vide order dated March 06, 2025, following which the company filed an appeal before the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court on April 05, 2025, which is currently pending disposal. Additionally, the Delhi High Court vide order dated August 08, 2023 had allowed attachment of certain assets in connection with this interim award, subject to any prior charge already created on such assets in favour of third parties. The management, based on legal inputs, is of the view that no additional liability beyond what is already recorded is probable in this matter.
Regarding bank guarantees, WCL and MCL had invoked bank guarantees amounting to ₹54.96 crore following cancellation of Letters of Assurance. The Delhi High Court directed WCL and MCL not to take any coercive action pursuant to their letters, and the matter remains pending. The management believes it has a strong case and no provision is considered necessary at this stage.

How might the Supreme Court's ruling on MSEDCL's appeal against the APTEL Change in Law order impact RattanIndia Power's ability to recover regulatory receivables and restore profitability in FY27?
Given the sharp decline in cash reserves from ₹177.77 crore to ₹10.18 crore and the surge in current borrowings, how sustainable is RattanIndia Power's debt repayment trajectory without a significant improvement in revenue collections from MSEDCL?
As India's renewable energy capacity reaches 42% of total installed capacity while contributing only 17% of generation, could policy shifts toward accelerating renewable dispatch pose a long-term threat to RattanIndia Power's thermal PPA renewals with MSEDCL?
