In February, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission had passed orders wherein the total receivables by the Udupi plant from Karnataka was estimated at Rs 1,800 crore.

JSW Energy is the holding company for the JSW group’s power business having operational capacity of 2,600 Mega-Watts consolidated.
