DLF colonies have inadequate power infrastructure. This has been revealed in a survey conducted by the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam, staff of the DLF and representatives of the Town and Country Planning Department.
Additional infrastructure, including 111.9 km-long high-tension lines, 16.28 km-long low-tension lines and distribution transformers of a capacity of 98.453 kVA costing around Rs 20 crore, is required in the DLF colonies.
The survey has pointed out that inadequate infrastructure provided by a number of builders is one of the main reasons behind unscheduled power cuts in some areas of the city.
The issue has been discussed by various agencies, including the HVPN, the DHBVN, the Town and Country Planning Department and builders. They have been asked to augment the infrastructure for power distribution. The DHBVN has been asked to get the infrastructure augmented.
DLF had planned and agreed to set 66 kV substations at three locations, but only one substation has so far been set up at Q Block. Other developers like Unitech, APL, Ambience Infrastructure, Sheetal International and Vipul Infrastructure had also agreed to set up 66 kV substations, but are yet to do so.
