Delhiites will have to pay more for electricity from February 1 as power companies on Friday increased the surcharge. BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL) have increased surcharge by 8, 6 and 7 per cent respectively.
The move came even as BSES said that the company is hopeful of avoiding a major power cut in Delhi and requested the government to step in to defuse the crisis. BSES sources said bank holding back funds is leading to a payment problem after NTCP, which supplies over 50 per cent of power to the national capital, rejected Delhi government's plea to continue power supply to BSES Yamuna Power Limited. If the crisis continues residents of East Delhi and Central Delhi may face eight to 10 hours of power cuts in February.
