The Kerala State Electricity Board’s (KSEB) plan to take over the 12‑MW Maniyar hydroelectric unit was suspended after the government halted the move pending a panel review. The original agreement with private partner Carborundum expired in December 2024, and signage claiming KSEB ownership sparked controversy. Officials await the panel’s decision on extending the contract.
