The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has asked the Telangana Generation and Distribution Corporation (TGERC) to turn down a proposal to procure 7,800 megawatts of power, according to Telangana Today.
The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has formally requested the Telangana Generation and Distribution Corporation (TGERC) to reject a power‑purchase plan that would add 7,800 megawatts to the state's supply portfolio. The appeal was reported by Telangana Today, which cited the party's directive to the state utility.
TGERC, the agency responsible for sourcing electricity for Telangana, had been evaluating a large‑scale procurement proposal amounting to 7,800 MW. While details of the proposal's origin or the terms were not disclosed, the BRS stance signals a clear opposition to moving forward with the deal.
The party's intervention comes at a time when the state is closely monitoring its power procurement strategy to balance cost, reliability and future demand. TGERC has not yet commented on whether it will act on the BRS request, and the final decision on the 7,800 MW proposal remains pending.
Analysts note that such high‑profile objections could influence the timing and structure of future power agreements in Telangana, underscoring the political weight behind energy policy decisions.
