Power distribution utility BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) has launched a limited-period ‘Air Conditioner Replacement Scheme’ in partnership with leading air-conditioner manufacturers. It will enable consumers, residing in South and West Delhi, to exchange their old ACs with the new energy efficient rated 5-star rated ACs at a substantial discount of up to 47 per cent.
Only 10,000 ACs available under the scheme. A similar scheme will be soon launched for BYPL consumers.
A similar scheme will also be launched soon for BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) consumers of East and Central Delhi.
Under the scheme, 10,000 air-conditioners (both window and split) of leading brands (LG/Godrej/Voltas) are on offer on a first-come-first-serve basis. A domestic consumer, residing in south and west Delhi, will be eligible to buy a maximum of 3 ACs against a unique CA (customer account) number, a release from BRPL said.
Besides the substantial discount on the energy efficient AC, a consumer can save up to Rs.7,500 annually on the running costs of a split AC and up to Rs.6,500 on a window AC. A consumer can recover the cost of the AC in about three years.
To avail the scheme, an eligible consumer has to call BRPL’ helpline numbers 19123/3999-9707 or visit the discom’s division office and get his/her names and CA number registered. They will be contacted by the respective officials of the AC company through their empanelled vendors to take the enquiry forward, the release noted.
BRPL and BYPL are premier power distribution companies and joint ventures between Reliance Infrastructure Ltd and the government of the National Capital Territory (NCT).
BSES discoms have been promoting energy conservation aggressively. The discom has been championing the cause of safer, sustainable technologies, including LED and roof top solar net metering.
