Electricity Act, 2003 alongwith allied Rules & Orders

This comprehensive edition brings together the Electricity Act, 2003 with the principal Rules framed thereunder and the most consequential orders and regulations issued by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). The book reproduces statutory text and pairs each provision with plain-English annotations that explain licensing and exemption provisions, framework for generation, transmission, distribution and trading, open access mechanics, tariff principles and consumer protection obligations (including the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules). It highlights landmark CERC orders and CEA regulations that interpret or operationalize statutory duties and sets out practical guidance on compliance, filings and dispute resolution under Section 79 and related provisions. Practical resources include model licence applications, tariff filing checklists, sample petitions, enforcement templates and an index of relevant Rules (including major 2024 amendments that streamline licensing and open-access procedures). Whether you are preparing filings, defending regulatory proceedings, drafting contracts or studying power-sector law, this consolidated, annotated resource saves time and reduces legal risk.
