Mumbai: Several consumers complain about ‘inflated’ power bills

Officials from the Adani Electricity said the meter readings were not done as some employees had been on strike over their issues with Reliance Infra, before the change of guard took place.

An AEML spokesperson said, “Due to internal agitation by employees over their past issues, certain meters couldn’t be read accordingly. As per MERC guidelines, we generated estimated bills based on last three months average consumption. If any customer has paid the bill with extra units on account of the same, it will be adjusted in next month’s bill, based on actual readings. Customer can send us photograph of their current meter reading to get revised bills.”
