Punjab's State-owned power utility said on Sunday it has made arrangements to supply an additional 2,000 MW of uninterrupted power to farmers ahead of the paddy sowing season.
The power utility has managed to buy the power under a short-term purchase arrangement from different sources, including Power Trading Corporation and Shri Cement at Rs 3.91 a unit compared to last year's Rs 4.04 a unit, said Mr Arun Verma, Director (Generation), Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd.
Paddy sowing in Punjab starts from June 10 and the power required to draw underground water to water the crop is considerable.
