Rahul Pawar a resident of Chembur shifted from Reliance Power to Tata Power in December and his monthly tariff power bills have dropped to more than 50 %. Says Rahul, “It is affordable than Reliance. My house budgets have come down and there are no power breaks also.” The Company, in line with its centenary year commitment of lighting up lives, has steadily been adding consumers across categories due to its diligent customer service and the most competitive tariff offering to consumers with a monthly consumption of up to 300 units.
Today, Tata Power is one of the fastest growing power utilities in the city of Mumbai, and consumers with a monthly consumption of up to 300 units account for almost 62 per cent, i.e. 3,72,000, of the Company’s total Mumbai consumer base of 6 lakhs. The Company is also undertaking steady network expansion within the city and from April 2014 till date has been successful in adding 639 km of cable network. The company has always enabled Mumbaikars with the ‘Right to choose’ their preferred power supplier and has allowed consumers to benefit from most competitive prices being offered by the different service providers. In an endeavor to remain committed to providing the most viable tariff Tata Power Company (TPC) has proposed an average 6-7 per cent reduction from the MERC approved tariff for FY’16. Speaking on this accomplishment, Mr. Ashok Sethi, COO & ED, Tata Power, stated, “Tata Power has been a synonymous name for the Mumbai power utilities for several decades.
Tata Power has always strived to provide reliable electricity to all residents of Mumbai. Achieving slums electrification with 24×7 power at the most competitive tariffs is one of the feathers in the cap of our team. In this milestone year of having completed 100 years of our operations, we are happy to have reached this milestone of 6 lakh consumer-base in Mumbai. We stay committed to our consumers, and promise to deliver enhanced services at competitive prices.” Living by the vision of its founders, Tata Power aims to consistently meet the ever-growing power needs of its Mumbai consumers with efficient transmission and distribution of energy, superior service, and constant up-gradation of technology. The Company already has 33 Customer Relations and Bill Collection Centres across the city that facilitate prompt and easy payment of electricity bills, and also help people willing to opt for Tata Power as their preferred power supplier.
