Temperature dependence of London penetration depth of nonmagnetic borocarbides YNi2B2C is studied in the framework two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory. Its temperature dependence is non-linear near T-c. The strength of the non-linearity is mainly dependent on the interaction coupling between the order parameters of two separate bands. In addition, the inter-gradient interaction as well as the ratio of effective masses of two separate bands was also found to be important in determining its temperature dependence. The results of the calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data for bulk YNi2B2C.
