New Delhi, Mar 26 (PTI) City power discoms have urged Delhiites to participate in Earth Hour on Saturday by turning off non-essential electrical appliances between 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm to promote a sustainable environment.
BSES discoms-BRPL and BYPL- have joined the event promoted by WWF-India. This year’s initiative is themed “Give an Hour for Earth,” calling on citizens to dedicate one hour to the planet and inspire lasting change. “As a proud partner of WWF-India, BSES has urged its around 54 lakh consumers and 2.25 crore residents across South, West, East and Central Delhi to participate in this global movement,” the discom said in a statement. Last year, Delhi saved 269 MW during Earth Hour. From homes and markets to offices and public spaces, the city will unite in turning off non-essential lights and appliances during this hour in a collective act that emphasises a shared commitment to sustainability. Earth Hour 2026 also marks two decades of a movement that has grown from a symbolic switch-off in Sydney in 2007 into a defining global call for climate action across more than 190 countries. BSES plans to switch off non-essential lighting in over 400 offices covering approximately 900 square kilometres during the designated hour. PTI VIT VIT MPL MPL
