Delhi discoms pitching for 20% tariff increase

Reeling under huge losses, distribution companies in Delhi are looking for another rise of about 20 per cent in power rates in less than a year.

There was a 21 per cent rise in rates in September last year, but despite the increase, discoms, BSES and North Delhi Power Ltd (NDPL), have accumulated losses of about Rs 11,000 crore in the last three years.

Reliance group companies BSES Yamuna Power Ltd and BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd account for around 70 per cent of the power distribution in Delhi city. Private discoms were asking for a 50 per cent increase in rates due to increase in power purchase cost, among other factors. The September hike came after rates were last revised in 2009.

“We are expecting a hike of 19-21 per cent in power rates in the next few months. We have asked DERC (Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission) to look at all factors of cost. The tariffs have to be cost-reflective rise so that discoms stop bleeding,” BSES Rajdhani chief executive officer Gopal Saxena told Business Standard.

Delhi, Haryana battle it out : Hindustan Times

Delhi cries ‘foul’, says Haryana has denied it water for second consecutive day. Haryana dismisses claim, says it supplied promised amount.

NEW DELHI:

As the water supply situation remained more or less the same on Thursday, the Delhi government has claimed that Haryana’s ‘foul’ act of curtailing water for the second consecutive day will result in a shortage of 30 million gallons per day (MGD) at the Wazirabad Treatment Plant (WTP) .

The shortage is likely to affect supply to west, north, New Delhi and the Walled City areas on Friday. Haryana, on the other hand, has rubbished Delhi’s claim and said it supplied the necessary amount of water.

The situation on Thursday — a day after the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) had cried hoarse over getting less water — was slightly better off compared to the previous two days, except for some colonies from west Delhi.

Mahesh Tak from Dwarka sector 10 said, “We are getting water only for about 20-25 minutes, five days a week.”

But other areas were slightly better off. Saroj Rana from Shalimar Bagh, in northwest Delhi, said, “There was water supply today but it was less than usual.”

Echoed BS Vohra, president of East Delhi RWA Joint Front, “Several colonies in east Delhi such as Azad Nagar, Ram Nagar witnessed disrupted water supply today.”

“This is the second foul (play) by Haryana on waterfront after curtailment of water for Haiderpur plant resulting in short production of water by 15 MGD. In all, less production by 45 MGD in Delhi would leave most of people thirsty,” a government statement said.

Haryana has claimed the pond at the Haidepur WTP that had a capacity of 425 cusecs got 425 cusecs of water. “The pond at Wazirabad with a capacity of 210 MGD was filled with 210 MGD,” said Harmail Singh, engineer-inchief, Haryana Irrigation. “These are entries from DJB’s log book, checked by our engineers, who went to both Haiderpur and Wazirabad,” he added.

The areas likely to be affected are: Patel Nagar, Moti Nagar, Kirti Nagar, Narela, Bawana, Wazirabad, Transport Nagar localities, areas north of Raj Path and the old Delhi localities.
