The Delhi government has written to the Union ministry of home affairs to grant loans worth Rs 6,350 crore to the three private distribution companies under the Centre\u2019s special loan scheme for discoms. While the demand to get a share from the Centre\u2019s Rs 90,000 crore package as loans was raised by the discoms, the Delhi government backed their request, stating that the liquidation money would help the government recover outstanding dues of Rs 15,595.27 crores – which the power distribution companies owe to the Delhi government\u2019s generation firms.<\/p>\n
But to avail the Centre scheme, a state guarantee is required for the loan to be granted, which is not possible in Delhi\u2019s case because it is a Union Territory. As per government documents, discom BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) has sought a loan of Rs 3,050 crore, BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) of Rs 2,300 crore and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd of Rs 1000 crore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
