A Delhi court has convicted a man for electricity theft, imposing a fine of Rs 1.72 lakh after finding him guilty of directly tapping power from a distribution pole.
BSES entities BRPL (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited) and BYPL (BSES Yamuna Power Limited) supply electricity to around 12 lakh and 16 lakh customers respectively.
Dikshit has to allow the huge tariff hike, or subsidise BYPL. There is no other choice.
Reacting to the hike in power rates, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on discoms would ascertain the lack of funds as stated by power distribution companies.
Areas in East and Central Delhi face a blackout risk from Saturday as the State-run National Thermal Power Corporation on Friday rejected the Delhi government's plea not to stop electricity supply to the BSES Yamuna Power Ltd for defaulting on payments.
Lt Governor says discoms must cooperate or face cancellation of licences. Ficci cries interference.
