Amid coal crisis and power tariff going through the roof, the high water level in Bhakra and Ranjit Sagar Dam (RSD) reservoirs has come as a major relief for beleaguered Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
The water level in the three reservoirs of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are better placed as compared to the previous year and there may be more generation from hydro plants this year during the paddy season.
On Monday, the water level in Bhakhra reservoir was 1,570 ft, 36 ft higher than the level at the same time last year1,534 ft.
