Almost every Delhi household has access to electricity, says NSSO

The previous Delhi government might have been criticised for high power rates, but almost every household in this Union Territory had access to electricity in 2012. According to a report by the 69th round of the National Sample Survey Officer, 99 per cent of households in urban Delhi had electricity in 2012. At an all-India level, 97.9 per cent of urban households had access to electricity.

However, Delhi lagged Goa, Mizoram, Sikkim, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, and Lakshadweep, where every household in urban parts had access to electricity. The data, however, do not specify the number of hours a day electricity is supplied.
