Power supply in Mumbai.



The only company which can supply power at a reasonable tariff to Mumbai is Tata Power as it generates power near Mumbai. It has periodically increased its generation to meet the needs of Mumbai. It supplies to BEST and the Reliance.Why should power supply come to Mumbaikars through intermediates who will only increase the tariff ?

We should prepare a sort of white paper on the power supply in Mumbai and its cost of generation and publish it for public information and education. Then,request the government to give to those who can generate near Mumbai and supply at a reasonable tariff. It is in the public interest. If it rejects it, we can go to the High Court get justice through a pill. Mumaikars have right to get power at a reasonable tariff.
