Mumbaikars can expect a lower outgo on their electricity billing

Hence the billing to consumers can be as per the previous tariff order of 2020 and could mean savings of up to 35 percent for Mumbaikars.

Sanjay Banga President T&D, Tata Power in a statement to CNBC-TV18 said “With a commitment to excellence, Tata Power has long been recognized for its dedication to providing power at highly competitive rates in Mumbai. Serving over 7.5 lakh customers in the city, the Company's customer-centric approach remains the cornerstone of its operations. Hon’ble APTEL’s Order represents a pivotal opportunity to strengthen this commitment, ensuring the delivery of quality, affordable, sustainable and reliable power supply that benefits both customers and the wider community. The order is extremely positive for us. It will help us gain more consumers in Mumbai, where there is open access. We have appealed against the MERC Tariff order of March 30 2023.”
