Sheila Dikshit, the Chief Minister of Delhi has warned discoms viz. BRPL, NDPL and BYPL against their poor performance and said her government would not hesitate in taking any stern action if they do not satisfy customers with their service.

The Chief Minister spoke her mind during a meeting with the heads of Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Public Grievances Committee and the CEOs from all the three discoms.

She asked particularly BSES, the Reliance-backed company, to extend the date for August's bills till the end of September and not to fine consumers who did not pay their bills for the August on the assumption that their bills were exaggerated.

The Chief Minister said in a statement, "The performance of discoms is not up to the mark and the consumers are not in particular satisfied with the BSES."

Berjinder Singh, chief of Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission, assured that the matter would be looked into and the report regarding that would be provided in 15 days.

All data relating power plus discoms' the billing software would also be checked within 30 days.

The Chief Minister took the concerned step after complaints from RWAs that discoms charged their customers 2 to 3 times higher as compared to last year without any significant change in consumption of power.
