The Ministry of Power has recently released a notification on June 30, 2023, introducing additional amendments to the Electricity Rules, 2005. Prior to the first amendment, a power plant could qualify as a captive generating plant if the captive user held at least twenty-six percent ownership. However, the present amendment modifies this provision by introducing an additional criterion. If the captive generating plant is established by an affiliate company, the captive user must hold no less than fifty-one percent of the ownership in that affiliate company.
