DMRC ops need just 2.5% of power supplied to Delhi
Days after the Delhi Government warned of power cuts due to coal shortage, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Tuesday said that the Metro operation needs account for only 2.5 per cent of the total power requirement of the city.
“DMRC receives around 2 MU (million unit) electricity from power distribution companies of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. “Around 0.9 MU power is received from the on-site solar power plant through open access. Further, 0.1 MU is drawn from the rooftop solar power plants installed on Delhi Metro’s stations and depots,” said a DMRC spokesperson.
