The AAP government has strictly directed Reliance Infra-backed BSES power distribution companies to immediately clear dues of nearly Rs 6,000 crore to Delhi Transco Ltd and two state-run power generation companies. Top officials in the Delhi government said BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) have been ignoring notices by the Power Department to pay the dues and it may now consider “punitive action” against the two discoms. They said both the discoms have to pay around Rs 4,500 crore to Delhi government-run power generation companies Indraprastha Power Generation Company Ltd and Pragati Power Corporation Limited for supplying power in the last five years. “They have to pay the two power generation companies for supply of power since 2009,” said a senior official of the Power Department. The two power generation companies supply around 800 MW of power to BSES daily. The official said the two discoms have also failed to clear dues to the tune of Rs 1,500 crore to Delhi Transco Ltd for using its network. The Delhi Transco Ltd maintains all major power transmission network in the city and discoms have to pay it for using the network.
