Reliance Infrastructure firms BSES Rajdhani Power and BSES Yamuna Power on Monday paid around Rs 400 crore to Aravali Power Corporation Private Ltd, a statement said.

BSES Rajdhani Power and BSES Yamuna Power have resolved the matter with Aravali Power Corporation Private Limited (APCPL) and have paid Rs 352.27 crore and Rs 47.34 crore respectively, as per the demand, a company statement said.

The BSES discoms are committed to supplying reliable and uninterrupted power to around 46 lakh consumers in Delhi, it added.
