Nonetheless, in April of this year, consumption climbed by 17.59 percent while demand increased by 16.11 percent.

We have been resuming any power outages that may have occurred in the city on a war-footing basis. Every employee is always monitoring the situation to better serve the customers. Because of this, there has been a rise in the demand for electricity, as stated on Thursday by TSSPDCL Chairman and Managing Director Musharraf Ali Faruqui.
