Infrastructure19594 sections

This Act amends the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 to transfer the electrical portion of the Bhakra-Nangal Project to the State Electricity Board. It allows the Himachal Pradesh government to hand over control of specific power houses, transmission lines, and related infrastructure to the Board. The legislation also clarifies financial rules, permitting the government to treat capital spending on the project as a loan to the Board, ensuring the assets acquired through this spending legally vest with the Board. It repeals a previous ordinance but validates actions taken under it, effectively formalizing the transfer of these electrical works.
