"So far, we have interest from about 30,000 consumers. We believe, by March, we will be in a position to transfer all of them. We expect more consumption (additional load) by 30 Mw by March 2010," Tata Power Company"s Executive Director (Finance) S Ramakrishnan told reporters here. Tata Power has so far received and processed 3,000 to 4,000 applications for a change-over to TPC"s distribution network from mainly residential consumers in Mumbai"s suburbs. "I think we have successfully processed applications of about 4,000 consumers. They will be given connections in a month"s time," he said.

India"s largest private electricity producer presently supplies power to about 28,000 consumers in the metropolis. Between 40,000-50,000 consumers of Reliance Infrastructure have been waiting to switch-over to cheaper Tata Power for electricity connections over the past few months. The change-over process was delayed as the two firms differed over replacement of old meters of Reliance with new ones by Tata Power, meter-reading and wheeling charges. The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), on October 15, provided an interim solution that said meters by Reliance would remain and that customers changing over to Tata Power would be billed as per those readings. Both Tata and R-Infra have been asked to provide change-over application forms at their respective consumer service centers and websites. The change-over process has to be completed within 30 days from receipt of a completed application by the new distribution licensee.

V V: Correcting the fault lines of capitalism
In the long run,” John Maynard Keynes had famously said, “we are all dead.” Keynes may not have been quite dead, but he had lived a ghostly half-life in the corridors of central banks and within the academia for decades. Now with the failures of unbridled capitalism on a global scale, he is back in fashion, along with Marx. John Cassidy, the finance correspondent for the New Yorker has come with How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities (Allen Lane/Penguin £25), which draws heavily on Keynes to recount the story of America’s housing boom and the failures of regulators and self-deception of bankers that led to the present financial crisis. The book is a sequel to Cassidy’s earlier book DotCon that dealt with the stupidities of the stock market bubble in the late 1990s, but both deal with one central idea: the belief that society is best served when individuals are left free to pursue their self-interest was “Utopian economics” and led to disaster because of “the crooked timber of humanity”, and the uncertainty that is inherent in any human enterprise.
