NEW DELHI: Delhiites risk a season of outages from June, with the Supreme Court lifting its stay restraining NTPC from snapping power supply to the BSES discoms.
BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna, which distribute power to east, west, south and parts of central Delhi, are still trying to make payments to NTPC and indicate that they may not be able to meet the new deadline. NTPC supplies over 2,000MW to the city and regulating the supply will affect thousands of households. The discoms serve about 34 lakh households or 70% of Delhi.
BSES Rajdhani distributes power to over 18.5 lakh consumers in south and west Delhi, including Alaknanda, Vasant Kunj, Saket, Nehru Place, Nizamuddin, Sarita Vihar, Hauz Khas, RK Puram, Janakpuri, Punjabi Bagh, Tagore Garden, Vikaspuri, Palam and Dwarka. BYPL's consumer base includes Patparganj, Karkardooma, Mayur Vihar, Jungpura, Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar, Seelampur, Mausam Vihar, Anand Vihar, Vasundhara Enclave etc.
