Power situation to improve soon, talks on to purchase energy from pvt producer: Haryana CM

To address the issue of power shortage, the Haryana government will hold a meeting with two private players and ask them to increase power supply across the state, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said during a district grievance committee meeting at Powergrid Colony, Sector 43, on Thursday.

Khattar said the government will ask both private players to provide a power supply of 1,804MW to the state at a reasonable rate amid the increased demand during the meeting, which will take place in two or three days. Both companies already have a contract with the Haryana government for supplying 1,424MW and 380MW power, respectively.

“The rise in power demand is natural during the peak summer season and private producers have a tendency to sell power in the market in order to generate more revenue. I spoke with Adani Power on Wednesday and it is likely that the issue will be resolved amicably,” said Khattar.
