Still need power from Dadri-II plant: Delhi govt writes to Centre

The Delhi government recently wrote to the Union Ministry of Power requesting it to continue to allocate power from Dadri-II power plant to the capital.

“We said we are the rightful claimants to this (power from Dadri-II) and that this is under our PPA (power purchase agreement) which is valid till 2035, and that we still require this power,” said a senior official in the Delhi government who asked not to be named.

After the Power Ministry decided to reallocate Delhi’s share from the thermal power plant at Dadri-II to Haryana in March, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited filed a petition before the Delhi High Court arguing that the move would impact power supply to the capital.
