You seem to be using a rather old PowerShellGet module (1.0.0.1).
I suggest upgrading that module (and possibly the PackageManagement module as well) first.

Thank you Very much LucD. I ran the below commands and was able to update PowerShellGet and PackageManagement modules.

Install-Module -name PackageManagement -force -skippublishercheck;
Install-Module -name PowershellGet -force -SkipPublisherCheck;

The issue is resolved now.
