Hyderabad: Telangana got some good news on Monday with the Centre allocating 222 MW from the Central pool to the state. The supply could start from April 1, and may ease the power situation as demand begins peaking.
The power became available as the Arvind Kejriwal government had decided not to take 693 MW from the NTPC.
This electricity has been allotted to three states: Kerala, 167 MW, Telangana 222 MW and Andhra Pradesh 304 MW. The Telangana quota will increase to 374 MW from October 1.
Only recently, the state had got 242 MW in a gas swap deal, and had released Rs 350 crore to purchase power from Kayamkulam.
