Delhi has not witnessed a substantial power tariff hike since 2015, when the Aam Aadmi Party took over the reins of the capital. Before coming to power, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal led protests against alleged inflated electricity bills in the capital, which has around 60 lakh power consumers. Then comes the Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), which is a joint venture between Tata Power and the Delhi government serving around 18 lakh consumers in north and north-west Delhi. The discoms have been demanding a power tariff hike over the last five years, which has been turned down every time.
