Haryana opposes private players entry

Haryana power utility Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), the state-run power distribution company for south Haryana, has opposed the entry of private players in electricity supply in Gurgaon. DHBVN, which holds the exclusive rights to supply electricity in Gurgaon and eight other districts of Haryana, has raised objections to the application of West Bengal-based India Power Corporation for grant of licence for retail distribution of electricity to consumers of all categories in the Millennium City, stating that there was no room for setting up a parallel distribution network in Gurgaon and a second licence (electricity supplier) will only burden the existing network.
