The Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), established by the Damodar Valley Corporation Act of 1948, aims to develop the Damodar Valley region in West Bengal and Jharkhand through activities such as ... power generation, flood control, and irrigation. Following the Electricity Act of 2003, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) assumed tariff determination responsibilities, leading to DVC's challenge of a CERC-issued tariff order in the Appellate Tribunal.
