Initially, the CERC issued a tariff order for FYs 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 only and refused to determine the tariff for FY 2014-16. The AP-Transco had then approached the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) in New Delhi seeking directions to the CERC to consider the determination of transmission charges for FY 2014-16 also.
