NTPC today asked the two BSES utilities to make their payments and said in the event of failure to do so it would be forced to regulate supplies to the state discoms.
Chairman and Managing Director of NTPC Arup Roy Choudhury told reporters here, "BSES must make good their statement, we are in a difficult situation. If we are not paid in time we will have to regulate nearly 2000 MW, we have (other) buyers for it.
