Consumers in Gurugram and Nuh will be able to choose between two electricity distributors after the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission granted Eleven Power Private Limited a 25-year parallel distribution licence for the region on October 19, according to Millennium Post.
The licence covers more than 8.3 lakh consumers across households, farms, shops and industrial units. Eleven Power is expected to develop a separate distribution network and begin supplying electricity during 2027-28.
The company plans to invest Rs 4,717 crore over five years for the network rollout. The licence will cover five divisions: Gurugram City, Gurugram Sub-urban, Manesar, Sohna and Nuh.
The approval introduces a second electricity distribution option in an area that includes dense urban neighbourhoods, suburban settlements, agricultural consumers, commercial establishments and industrial units. Consumers in these categories are included within the licensed service area, although the supplied report does not provide details on the process through which individual consumers will select or shift between distributors.
The parallel distribution model also means that Eleven Power will need to establish its network before supply begins. The available information does not specify the planned locations of substations, feeders, distribution transformers or customer service facilities, nor does it provide details of the company’s proposed construction schedule.
The five-year investment commitment covers the development of the new network across the licensed divisions. The scale of the proposed coverage means the rollout will span both established urban areas and more dispersed settlements in Gurugram and Nuh. The licence period, set at 25 years, provides the regulatory framework for the company’s long-term operation in the region.
The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission’s decision is the formal step that enables the second distributor to plan and build its network. Eleven Power’s electricity supply is expected to start in 2027-28, while further operational details, including the implementation timetable and consumer onboarding process, were not included in the report.
