What was shared
Tata Power informed the exchanges that it has received a letter from the Ministry of Power, Government of India, on the extension of validity of the directions issued under Section 11 of the Electricity Act, 2003 for its Mundra Thermal Plant.
The change
- The validity was earlier extended up to September 30, 2026.
- It has now been further extended and shall remain in force until December 31, 2026.
- The update is in continuation of the company's earlier intimation dated June 23, 2026.
What Section 11 means in simple terms
Section 11 of the Electricity Act allows the government to direct a generating station to operate and maintain supply in extraordinary circumstances. Such directions have been used to keep imported-coal based plants like Mundra running to support the national power supply.
How investors may read it
This is a continuity update: the operating arrangement under the government's directions for the Mundra plant continues for a further period rather than lapsing at the end of September 2026.
