How to escalate a DoPN complaint

Forward the complaint number to your group so nobody has to search for it mid-outage.

Electricity is run by a state government department. The main portal is JavaScript-heavy and its 'Reach Us' page could not be read, so no general 24x7 helpline is listed; the one number shown is the official smart-prepaid-meter helpdesk on smartmeters.dopn.gov.in. NERC has no standalone website found; regulator URL points to the NERC regulations hosted on nagaland.gov.in.

Complaint not fixed? How to escalate

Every distribution licensee in India must run a Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, and every state has an Electricity Ombudsman above it. Work up the ladder; keep your complaint number from step one.

  1. 1

    Local electrical sub-division / DoPN consumer portal

    Use 'Report Power Failure' on the DoPN consumer portal (dopn.gov.in/dopn-portal) or contact the local sub-division; prepaid meter helpdesk 0370-2243149, cepower1helpdesk@gmail.com.

  2. 2

    Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF), Department of Power

    File a written grievance via the 'Consumer Grievance Redressal' section of the DoPN portal or with the departmental CGRF.

    www.dopn.gov.in/dopn-portal/
  3. 3

    Electricity Ombudsman, Nagaland Electricity Regulatory Commission

    Appeal against the CGRF order to the Ombudsman under NERC regulations (NERC, Kohima).
