Cos may shift to alternative fuel

REDUCING THE SUBSIDY BURDEN Sudheer Pal Singh / New Delhi August 26, 2008, 0:52 IST Companies which use diesel to run their backup generators say they would shift to alternative fuels if the government decides to adopt dual pricing, where these firms would be charged higher and retail customers would continue to get subsidised fuel. Corporations in many states are forced to use their own diesel-powered generators as state electricity boards are unable to supply uninterrupted power due to demand far exceeding electricity generation.
