In fact, some power stations are backing down because the demand is reducing," stated a supply.
Delhi sources power from thermal, fuel and hydro power stations. The largest quantity is sourced from thermal stations because of fuel shortage in the nation. Besides Badarpur, Aravali and Dadri, town also sources power from the Rihand and Singrauli thermal stations.
