Chandigarh Power Infra to Be Upgraded

Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL) has announced plans to invest Rs 9.56 billion over five years to modernise the city’s ageing electricity network.
Over 50 per cent of existing infrastructure is outdated, leading to frequent breakdowns. CPDL proposes tariff revisions to fund upgrades including new transformers, underground cabling, smart meters, and customer care centres.
The Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) plan has been submitted to the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission for approval.
To improve communication, CPDL has also launched a KYC update drive for consumers.
