Delhi Transco warns discoms of action over non-payment

“It is pertinent to mention that both BRPL and BYPL are making payment of the dues of most of the Central Sector Generating and Transmission Companies as well as the Generating Companies of its own group in time whereas… not making any payment at all to DTL. This is a highly discriminatory and unfair approach… option with DTL is to regulate power supply but this will not be in the interest of general public of Delhi who are paying their electricity bills to discom regularly,” said a DTL spokesperson.

The transmission company further said due to the non-payment a “serious threat has been posed to the operations and sustainability of DTL as its cash flow has been seriously affected…”

The transco warned if the situation continued, there may be “system failure”, which may lead to a power crisis during summer.

Defending itself, the discom said they were waiting for a Supreme Court order in the matter. “… The judgement in the matter is reserved and awaited since February 2015… BSES discoms are also making concerted efforts to address the situation and clear pending dues in a just and equitable manner,” said a BSES spokesperson.
