Power cut in my area or just my house?

Is it the network or just your home?

  • To do: Call 1912: the number allotted to electricity call centres for supply complaints, open round the clock.
  • To do: In Delhi, BSES Rajdhani takes complaints on 19123 (toll free, 24x7) and on WhatsApp at 8800919123.
  • Avoid: Don't go near fallen power lines: they easily cause electric shocks.

Who regulates electricity in India?

  • CERC, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission: it regulates inter-State transmission and the tariffs of central government generating companies, and sets the Grid Code.
  • State electricity regulatory commissions (such as DERC in Delhi): they set the outage duration and number of interruptions beyond which your DISCOM must compensate you.
  • Consumer Grievance Redressal Forums and Electricity Ombudsman: after your DISCOM's own grievance system, they handle unresolved complaints under the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules, 2020.
