The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) has asked the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) to maintain the status quo in the scrapped 700 MW solar auction until further orders. It said that the distribution company (DISCOM) cannot proceed with the request for selection (RfS) as of now, nor can it open the technical and financial bids, according to Mercom sources.
