How to escalate a PED Puducherry complaint

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

Still a government department, not a company. Privatisation of the Puducherry electricity distribution business has been proposed and contested for several years; as of verification the official department site shows no completed transfer to a private licensee. The CGRF online registration link was marked temporarily unavailable on the department site; bill payments are at pedservices.py.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.
