NTPC now threatens to cut power supply to Rajasthan

10 Jan 2013 Evaluate

After clearing outstanding dues of Tata Power, state-owned power generator NTPC has now taken up payment issues with the three discoms of Rajasthan state and has threatened power cut. Besides, NTPC is already in talks with other buyers in Northern and other regions to absorb the power that would be in excess.

Further towards this development, NTPC has sent a regulation notice to the three discoms of the state-- Jaipur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam, Jodhpur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam and Ajmer Vidyut Vitaran Nigam, asking them to renew the line of credit to them of around Rs 188 crore, failing to which, NTPC, in the next three days, i.e., January 13, 2013, would cut power supply of as much as 1,258 megawatt to the three discoms.

These three discoms owe Rs 95 crore to NTPC in dues. The company has raised bills for around Rs 272 crore. This move by NTPC came after the validity of a line of credit of Rs 121 crore expired on December 31, 2012. 

A day prior, Rajasthan State Electricity Board (SEB) has made an immediate payment of Rs 90 crore to the troubled Tata Power Company’s Mundra Ultra mega power plant (UMPP). This development comes right after private utility, Tata Power’s wholly owned subsidiary Coastal Gujarat Power (CGPL) stopped power supply to the distributing companies of Rajasthan from its 4,000 MW ultra-mega power project (UMPP) at Mundra, Gujarat, because of payment default issues. Rajasthan is to be supplied around 10% of the power to be generated by India’s first UMPP.
