The Haryana electricity distribution company announced that about 80% of its faulty meters remain unrepaired and has given consumers a November 30 deadline to complete the fixes.
The state-run electricity distributor in Haryana said that roughly four‑fifths of its electricity meters are still reported as defective, causing billing discrepancies for many households. To address the backlog, the utility has set a firm deadline of November 30 for completing all necessary repairs and replacements.
Officials indicated that field teams have been mobilised across the state, prioritising areas with the highest complaint volumes. Consumers whose meters remain faulty after the deadline may face continued billing issues, and the discom warned that further action could be taken against non‑compliant service providers.
The move comes amid broader efforts to modernise the power supply network in Haryana, with the utility aiming to improve revenue collection and reduce consumer grievances. No additional financial penalties or compensation schemes were disclosed in the announcement.
