Tata Power customer base crosses 6 lakh in Mumbai

Tata Power, which is celebrating its centenary year, today said its customer base in Mumbai has grown 20 per cent over the previous year and crossed the 6- lakh mark as of February.

The increase in customer addition was driven by low- end users, who constitute 62 per cent of its total customers for whom the company has been offering low tariffs.

The low-end consumers are those who consume up to 300 units a month.

The company is also undertaking a steady network expansion within the city, where it has added 639km of cable network since last April.

The private utility has proposed an average 6-7 per cent reduction from the regulator MERC-approved tariff for FY16.
