January 31, 2014 08:59

People in eastern and central parts of Delhi should be prepared for power cuts lasting 8-10 hours from Saturday, as the distribution company catering to the two regions, BSES Yamuna, has sent an alert over its unviable financial situation.

The second-largest of the three private discoms in the national capital supplies to 1.35 million consumers.

BYPL chief executive officer Arvind Gujral told Delhi power secretary Punit Goyal in a letter: Unfortunately, it appears inevitable that there will be substantial load-shedding of up to eight-10 hours, possibly as early as from February 1, in our licence area, causing grave hardship to millions of our valued consumers in east and central Delhi.
