The government will table amendments to the Electricity Act 2003 in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, said R K Singh, minister for power, new and renewable energy, on Thursday.

“The amendment will have 2-3 added provisions; one of them is increasing the penalties on the renewable purchase obligations. The demand has increased, and the market is not an issue currently.
