MESCOM Drives Home‑Electricity Re‑registration in Udupi by Door‑to‑Door

Meter‑reading and account re‑registration are key to ensuring reliable power supply in Karnataka’s Udupi district. In a move to tighten the state’s Gruha Jyothi programme, the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (MESCOM) has intensified a door‑to‑door drive to collect fresh registrations from households.

Gruha Jyothi, launched in 2020, provides subsidized electricity to low‑income families across the state. Since its rollout, a fraction of subscribers have failed to renew their accounts, leading to disconnections and billing disputes. MESCOM’s latest effort is aimed at bridging this gap by reaching every home directly.

The drive is expected to reduce the number of pending accounts, improve billing accuracy, and ensure that more families benefit from the scheme’s reduced rates. It also helps the state government meet its renewable energy and welfare targets. Source: Google News – Udupi.
