Electricity likely to cost more in Delhi; APTEL orders to start liquidation of discom dues in 3 weeks

Wait 5 sec.

Delhi's electricity bills are set to increase. The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity has ordered the Delhi power regulator to start recovering over Rs 38,500 crore owed by electricity distribution companies. This move comes after the tribunal rejected a request for a CAG audit, directing an independent chartered accountant instead. The process must begin within three weeks, impacting city residents.
