The Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission (CSERC) issued clarifications on the applicability of wheeling and Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) charges for intrastate open access consumers, proposing a one-time settlement mechanism for past billing periods up to January 2026. The Commission has held that deviations and revenue mismatches arising in the billing of Multi Supply Consumers were the result of misinterpretation and misapplication of the DSM Regulations, 2016, rather than a deliberate attempt to gain unfair advantage.
