West Discom Records ₹1,000 Crore Revenue Collection In August

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): West Discom achieved a record revenue collection of Rs1,000 crore in August. The surge was largely due to higher electricity consumption during the summer months, with dues from June and July bills being recovered in August.

The company collected revenue from more than 20 lakh consumers across the region. Indore city circle alone contributed Rs250 crore, while Indore rural circle recorded nearly Rs220 crore.

Within Indore city, the North, Central, and West divisions successfully met their collection targets. In the North division alone, low-tension revenue crossed Rs 45 crore. Rau Zone In-charge Tarun Chawla informed that special recovery campaigns were conducted in colonies along the bypass and Silicon City. The zone’s target was Rs 6.54 crore, but collections exceeded expectations at Rs6.87 crore from nearly 29,000 consumers.

City superintending engineer DK Gathe congratulated the entire team for achieving the record-breaking revenue collection.
