A country’s leading business house has sought a parallel power distribution licence for Gautam Buddh Nagar district, which comprises Noida and Greater Noida, and a few surrounding villages, people aware of the issue said.
The company, an Indian multinational conglomerate, has formally applied with UP Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) for the same.
While Noida Power Company (NPCL), another private company, has been distributing power in Greater Noida for around three decades, the remaining parts of the district, including Noida, get their electricity from government-owned discom Meerut, a subsidiary of UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL).
