“To increase performance in this area, Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation LTD (TNPDCL) must symbolize the meter management system to ensure early replacements.
According to data shared by the state regulator of power, for a period of April 1, 2024 to 31.
During the first six -month period (April 1, 2024 to 30 September 2024), the DESTULPET, RAMNAD and PERAMBALURE Circles did not meet the target in two service areas, while Cuddalore, Madurai, Trichy Metro and Vellory circles did not meet the target in the uniform service, they said.
