Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL) has taken over electricity distribution in Chandigarh after privatization. If you need to visit their office for billing issues, new connections, or complaints, you can find them at their official address.
While the transition to private power distribution aims to improve efficiency, we all hope that issues like those shown in Shahid Kapoor’s movie Batti Gul Meter Chalu—where unfair billing and power struggles led to distress—never happen to anyone in reality. Reliable electricity is a fundamental right, and we trust CPDL to ensure a smooth and fair experience for all residents.
