Uninterrupted Power Supply: Delhi's Ambitious Master Plan

The Delhi government is gearing up to roll out a comprehensive 'Power Master Plan' designed to bolster the capital's electricity infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted supply amid increasing demand, as officials disclosed on Friday.

In a high-level meeting led by Delhi Power Minister Ashish Sood, the roadmap for power augmentation was reviewed, with particular attention on the future plans of Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) and the three private distribution companies - TPDDL, BRPL, and BYPL - over the next three years.

Minister Sood instructed the power secretary to initiate the drafting of the 'Power Master Plan' for Delhi, which aims to streamline the generation, transmission, and distribution processes city-wide. DTL shared its capacity projections up to March 2029, including the commissioning of new substations. The transmission capacity is set to increase, meeting the anticipated demands.
