HYDERABAD: AP Genco has filed a petition before the Telangana high court, urging it to direct the state government to pay AP power utilities Rs 6,283 crore towards arrears to be cleared by Telangana power utilities.
A bench of acting Chief Justice MS Ramachandra Rao and Justice T Vinod Kumar issued notices to state energy secretary, two power distribution firms and Telangana power coordination committee.
AP Genco entered into certain agreements on coal supply in 2009 and 2010 and responsibility was thrust upon Telangana power utilities to bear a portion of the cost of such supplies.
Andhra Pradesh advocate general S Sriram urged the bench to direct the Telangana power utilities to clear the dues.
“Chief secretaries of both states could sit together and deliberate upon this,” he said.
