Circular debt: Power blackouts loom in India in the face of $590 mln debt




NEW DELHI, INDIA: 
India’s capital is staring at the prospect of blackouts as two power utilities threaten to cut off supplies to a power distribution company run by Reliance Infrastructure Limited unless they are compensated with $590 million owed in late payments.

The predicament underscores a rot in India’s power sector after years of rising debts, fuel supply shortages, corruption, red tape and tariffs kept artificially low by populist politics.
In the sweltering summer heat last year, the country suffered a mass blackout, affecting an area where 670 million people live.
Such problems have hobbled Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s

efforts to fix India’s chronic power shortages, which are a drain on economic growth – now at its lowest rate in a decade - and sap the competitiveness of its businesses.

In an interview at his office, Gopal Saxena, the chief executive officer of the company in debt said:
“Unfortunately we have not had a cost-reflective tariff from the regulatory commission, which has imposed severe burdens on us.”
Bound to supply electricity round-the-clock, Saxena says:
“I have to supply power 24/7. I don’t have the money to pay. Now if I do not pay, somebody is going to cut off the power, or somebody has to pay the cost.”
Reliance Infrastructure, whose chairman is billionaire Anil Ambani, took over BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) in 2002 in a joint venture with the Delhi state government. It was a rare foray by a private company into the power distribution business, which is mostly controlled by India’s 28 states.
BRPL officials say they have helped improve electricity supplies in Delhi since the distribution business was privatised there, but at a big cost to their company.
The tariffs they are permitted to charge by a state electricity regulator have risen nearly 70 per cent since 2002, but the cost of buying electricity from generation companies and supplying it has shot up by more than 300 percent, Saxena said.
As a result, BRPL now owes $770 million in late payments to more than a dozen power utilities. Two of these, Pragati Power Corporation Limited (PPCL) and Indraprastha Power Generation Company Limited (IPGCL), have threatened BRPL with an ultimatum to either pay up or lose the power, Saxena said. Ironically, both the generators are run by the Delhi state government.
The threat means BRPL might be forced to cut power supplies by 25-30 percent for a period of four hours at peak times.
A spokesman for IPGCL could not be reached for comment. The

general manager for finance at both companies declined to comment, as did a company secretary for PPCL.

Staying Alive
Many Indians see cheap or free power as a right, not a privilege, and raising tariffs is especially difficult as the country gears up for a general election due by May.

Is your VOTE really SECRET ????? .......... I SAY NO. The Solution is Simple ..... but will the EC do it ?

Dear Friends,

Bogus Votes is the worst kept Secret ....... as it turns out Delhi has some 15 lakh bogus voters, as per reports most of them Bangladeshi immigrants and also from neighbouring states.

Now where do they live ....... my guess is in closely monitored JJ clusters / slums / Tenants in Urban Villages etc.

How do Political Parties keep a track of who they voted for ....... SIMPLE ..... through BOOTH wise EVMs.

THE FOLLOWING HOLDS TRUE  ..... NOT JUST FOR DELHI ...... BUT ALL OVER INDIA ..... and needs to be addressed Urgently.

Your VOTE can be traced to a Block of about 200 Households allocated to a BOOTH. Political Parties BUY BLOCK votes through the Local Head whoguarantees 90% votes in favour of the highest bidder .......
........ the threat of REPRISAL / INTIMIDATION keeps most such voters of a BOOTH in a BLOCK of 200 Households in line.

Intimidation / BULK purchase of Votes on CASTE, COMMUNITY, RELIOUGIOUS lines is real.
The SOLUTION ......

Like in the old days all the Paper Ballots were first mixed from various Booths of a constituency ..... likewise the EVMs of various Booths of a Constituency should be shuffled so that Political Parties are unable to identify which booth voted which way.

With the fear of Reprisal gone, knowing that a Block of Votes cannot be traced to a particular BOOTH of a locality ...... OUR VOTE WILL TRULY BE SECRET.

 The benefits if EVMs are Shuffled .....
- Local Netas will no longer be able to Buy Bulk Votes.
- Political Parties will no longer try to divide Society on Caste, Community, Religious Lines.
- Political Parties will no longer indulge in Vindictive activities like diverting funds towards their Vote Banks, ignoring the BOOTH / BLOCK that voted against.
- The control of Goondas and local Dons will diminish
- Criminals will no longer get Party Tickets putting a break on Criminalization of Politics.
- Restore confidence of Citizens who do not Vote as they feel their vote is wasted because of Bulk Purchase of Votes or cultivated Vote Banks.
I write this to invite suggestions and together we can take it up with the Election Commission. I am mailing this to LG Delhi, Delhi Lokayukta, Media Friends, Delhi State Election Commission and Election Commission of India ....... in the HOPE THAT THEY WILL TAKE SUO-MOTTO cognisance and give us a TRUELY SECTERT VOTE.

BHARAT NIRMAN ..... :)

Warm Regards,

Rajiv Kakria

Happy Independence Day

I & my family send greeting to you all on the 67th INDEPENDENCE DAY of our great NATION. We wish, must contribute what we can to make our country strong & capable to fight for its protection / safeguard etc specially when there are any crises of any sort. We need to protract our Nation’s freedom collectively at any cost.
We all believe that the future of this great Nation lies with the active participation of each one of us and encourage/educate others who are not so active.
We all act and discuss with our politicians to think for the country and rest afterword. Administrator at senior at high status must perform exemplary to run the government judicially in the interest of public.
I take liberty to add that CORRUPTION is a dangerous parasite, can damage the complete structure. Have self control & expose the effected person to save whatever others have build the strong building since long.
JAI HIND
