Delhi discoms regulatory assets down by Rs 3,029 cr in 5 years

The power sector in Delhi has seen a steady decline in regulatory assets to Rs 8,377 crore over the last five years, helping the AAP government keep tariffs under check, an official said on Sunday.

The transformation of the Delhi’s power sector is best captured by the fact that tariff rates have continuously reduced in the last five years and are now the cheapest in the country, with round the clock power supply in all parts of Delhi, Delhi Dialogue and Development Commission Vice-Chairman Jasmine Shah said.

“At the same time the power discoms’ financial health has improved, as measured by regulatory assets,” Shah said.

Regulatory assets include receivables from customers.
