The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) has closed a legal petition after the petitioner withdrew its case following commissioning of a captive solar project. The petition concerned a four point one five megawatt (MW) captive solar plant and was filed by Durga Processors Private Limited, a Surat based company, as Petition No. 2438 of 2025. The Commission disposed of the petition after a hearing in Gandhinagar that reviewed submissions from both parties. The respondent was Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Limited (GETCO).

The petitioner had sought an extension for commissioning of the project evacuation line, bays and metering infrastructure connected to the captive plant and had requested a three month extension from the original transmission capacity allotment date of 30 December 2023. The company had also asked the Commission to direct GETCO not to invoke a bank guarantee of Rs two point zero seven five million (mn) during the proposed extension. The petition had been filed under Section 86 of the Electricity Act, 2003 and related to regulatory interpretation of a tariff order.

During the hearing on 26 February 2026 the petitioner stated that the plant had been commissioned on nine April 2025 and submitted a commissioning certificate issued by the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) dated 27 May 2025. The petitioner explained that the petition had arisen from a misunderstanding of applicable regulatory provisions and that the firm had relied on a tariff order that did not apply. GETCO told the Commission that it had no objection to withdrawal of the petition. The petitioner filed a formal affidavit on 27 February 2026 confirming the request to withdraw.

A bench comprising Chairman Pankaj Joshi and Members Hiren Shah and Jatin N. Thakkar reviewed the records and concluded that disposal as withdrawn was appropriate. The Commission issued an order closing the matter on five March 2026, ending the proceedings since the solar plant had already been commissioned and regulatory relief was no longer required.
