Delhi has become the first state in India where consumers will be compensated by power distribution companies for unscheduled power cuts lasting over an hour. Consumers will receive Rs. 50 for each of the first two hours of a power cut and Rs. 100 for every subsequent hour. If a power cut recurs, compensation will be paid from the initial outage. Consumers do not need to submit claims, as compensation will be automatically paid after power is restored. Consumers can appeal to grievance redressal forums if they disagree with the compensation decision.

According to a Delhi government statement, the consumer will be compensated by ₹50 an hour for the rst two hours and ₹100 for every subsequent hour. If an interruption recurs, the compensation will be paid from the initial default. First in country With this, Delhi has become the rst State in the country where consumers will be compensated by power distribution companies (Discoms) in case of unscheduled power cuts. The Delhi government had approved the compensation plan in June this year. In case of unscheduled power cuts, the compensation shall be payable automatically by the Discom to all the affected consumers, without requiring a claim to be led by the consumer. After restoration of power supply, a con rmation message will be sent by Discom to the consumer with restoration date and time, a Delhi government statement said. Dispute resolution In case the Discom determines that no compensation is payable to affected consumer, he or she can approach the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum (CGRF) and, if not satis ed from CGRF, to the Electricity Ombudsman. The revised (electricity) Supply Code 2017 also says that if the compensation claim of the consumer is upheld by the CGRF or Ombudsman, the amount payable will be ₹5,000 or ve times the original compensation, whichever is higher.
