Expert Take: CERC’s Milestone Extension Procedure under the GNA Regulations, 2022: Eligibility Thresholds, Compensation Charges and the Limits of Relief - Opinions - 9 min read Expert Take: CERC’s Milestone Extension Procedure under the GNA Regulations, 2022: Eligibility Thresholds, Compensation Charges and the Limits of Relief The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has rolled out a revised procedure for connectivity milestone extensions, providing extra time once Milestone Extension Charges are settled. The eligibility criteria have been adjusted, along with the establishment of a diligent scrutiny cycle. Furthermore, the new compensation framework introduces reduced rates and additional relief methods for developers, ensuring efficient management of limited transmission resources. BACKGROUND The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Connectivity and General Network Access to the inter-State Transmission System) Regulations, 2022 (“GNA Regulations”), notified on 07.06.2022 and amended on 01.04.2023, 19.06.2024 and 31.08.2025, require every Connectivity grantee to sequentially achieve three milestones: (i) submission of land documents for at least 50% of the land required for the granted capacity, within 18 months of an in-principle grant or 12 months of a final grant, whichever is earlier [Regulation 11A(1)]; (ii) achievement of Financial Closure (“FC”), at least 6 months prior to the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (“SCOD”) or the firm start date of Connectivity, whichever is later [Regulation 11A(2)]; and (iii) achievement of Commercial Operation Date (“COD”), generally by the SCOD [Regulation 24.6]. Failure to meet any of these milestones in time triggers revocation of Connectivity and encashment of the relevant Bank Guarantee, the Land BG for land non-compliance, or Conn-BG1/BG2/BG3 for FC/COD non-compliance, under Regulations 11B and 24.6.

Expert Take: Global Ambition, Global Accountability: Rethinking Compliance Program Architecture for Indian Pharma Industry

Expert Take: Global Ambition, Global Accountability: Rethinking Compliance Program Architecture for Indian Pharma Industry - Opinions - 17 min read Expert Take: Global Ambition, Global Accountability: Rethinking Compliance Program Architecture for Indian Pharma Industry Building a globally governed, locally adaptable compliance architecture for next phase of Indian life-sciences companies Three headlines from 2026 capture how fast Indian Pharma Industry is going global: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries agreed to acquire US-listed Organon & Co. for an enterprise value of US$11.75 billion, the largest overseas acquisition in Indian pharmaceutical history; Dr Reddy's Laboratories rolled out a generic anti-obesity medicine across roughly 87 international markets; and Wockhardt's Zaynich became the first New Chemical Entity fully invented, developed and commercialised by an Indian company to win US FDA approval, after twenty-five years and roughly US$800 million of research. These are not incremental export wins, they mark a structural transition from a generics and manufacturing powerhouse to a science-led, innovation-driven global industry. India's pharmaceutical industry has already demonstrated that it can compete globally on scale, cost and manufacturing capability. It is now demonstrating something else: that it can build companies capable of originating, not just manufacturing, medicine. Indian life-sciences companies are no longer simply exporting medicines manufactured at home once patents on the original molecules expire. They are acquiring companies in the United States and Europe, building subsidiaries and R&D operations abroad, entering specialty and innovative medicines, developing biosimilars and biologics, running patient-facing programmes and engaging with healthcare systems governed by regulatory and ethical frameworks quite different from those they have traditionally operated…
