Delhi: BSES Discoms seek Rs 450 cr dues to overcome financial woes

February 06, 2014 22:51

Reliance Infra-backed BSES discoms today sought Rs 450 crore "dues" from Delhi government and MCDs to overcome their immediate "financial difficulties" and avoid black outs in 70 per cent areas even as the AAP dispensation maintained it will not adopt a "lenient" approach in dealing with the firms.

In letter, the BSES discoms asked the government to pay Rs 262 crore of subsidy due to them, saying the amount would help them clear the outstandings to state-run power generator NTPC. BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd said if

NTPC goes ahead with the threat of cut in power supply, then there will be almost 100 per cent loadshedding in their areas

of operation except in hospitals and Delhi Metro from Monday evening.

BSES discoms supply power in 70 per cent areas here.

The Delhi government has already made it clear that it will not pay the subsidy dues to BSES discoms and will adjust the amount with their outstanding to Delhi government-run power generation and transmission companies.

BRPL and BYPL owe around Rs 4,000 crore to Delhi government-run power generation and transmission utilities.
