Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on June 9 said electricity consumers are receiving higher electricity bills due to round the clock power supply in the city. Justifying the current tariff structure, she said the cost of power production has increased significantly in the last few years due to which electricity tariff in the city has also gone up.
The people are receiving higher bills mainly because we are ensuring round the clock supply of electricity. If you get 24X7 power supply, then it will be reflected in the bills, Dikshit said addressing a rally in Bindapur area of West Delhi.
