The rebuttal comes in the wake of a recent controversy - the TNPDCL is already purchasing power at the rate of more than ₹33 per unit during peak evening hours. In the light of this, news that it has planned to purchase power at ₹41.50 per unit has been going viral.
A senior official of TNPDCL pointing that the rates were only discovered rates (a term used for finding the prevailing rate in the market), said that no orders have been placed for this rate.
