Delhi Government Orders CAG Audit of Power Discoms Over Unrecovered Regulatory Assets
The Delhi government has ordered a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit of its three private power distribution companies—BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd., BSES Yamuna Power Ltd., and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd.—to examine the non-recovery of regulatory assets. This follows a Supreme Court directive from August 2025 for a strict audit. After procedural issues delayed the process, fresh notices and hearings were conducted. The audit aims to review the circumstances under which tariffs remained unrevised since 2014-15, leading to accumulated dues.
