New Delhi The government has dropped plans to involve senior government officials and functionaries to appraise electricity regulatory commissions' performance. The move comes in the face of strong opposition from the watchdogs.
Earlier, two committees were mooted, but later the plan was shelved. “Appraising regulators' performance is a good idea. However, the government should not get involved in this,” said VP Raja, chairman, Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission, adding that the whole idea of setting up regulatory commissions was to distance state government from tariff determination.
