NTPC threatens to cut power supply to Uttar Pradesh
With total outstanding dues of the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation (UPPCL) soaring to more than Rs 10,500 crore, state-owned power generation company NTPC has threatened to cut supplies to the distribution company from Friday if the bills are not cleared soon.
The UPPCL’s cumulative dues, pending for more than 60 days, currently stand at Rs 1,160 crore. If immediate arrangements are not made, the state could lose 5,512 megawatt (MW) of power supply from several NTPC power plants, including Dadri, Kahalgaon, Farakka, Rihand and Singrauli.
