The Independent Power Producers (IPPs)/Central Power Utilities generally do not sell power to the consumers directly. The power from these generators is sold to SEBs/other State Utilities, which in turn supply power to the consumers. The estimated average tariff charged from various categories of consumers during 2000-01 is given in Annexure-I.
