Our Joint Managing Partner, Amit Kapur, recently participated as a panellist at the prestigious Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) event, "Powering India's Future: Policy, Markets, and Innovation for a Clean Grid."

During this insightful event, Amit contributed his expertise to the critical panel discussion on "Redesigning Power Markets: Unlocking Investments in Clean Energy by Introducing New Products, Services, and Market Participants."

Amit was joined by esteemed panellists, including Chintan Shah | Samir Chandra Saxena | Ann Josey | Shaurya Kaushal, and Karthik Ganesan, who moderated the panel. The discussion emphasised the critical need for innovative approaches to reshape our power markets and attract investments to drive the transition to clean energy. Amit's perspectives on fostering innovation within power markets are essential as we strive towards a sustainable energy future.

During the event, Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) under the Ministry of Power, expressed gratitude to Amit for his ongoing support and collaboration. He remarked humorously, "I used to disturb him (Amit) a lot during the policymaking, and he was one of the people who used to legally support me that okay go ahead anything happens in the legal aspect of it, I'll try to take care of those aspects."

Amit's insights were invaluable, and we are proud to see him recognised for his contributions.

Such engagements foster knowledge sharing and contribute significantly to shaping policies that impact our industry. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and driving meaningful change in power markets.

Change In Law Compensation In India’s Power Sector: Is Full Restitution Possible Without Carrying Cost?

The Change in Law clause is a cornerstone of competitively bid power projects in India. It protects parties against unforeseen legislative and regulatory changes that alter the economic assumptions on which bids are submitted.
