He said power distribution in the state is handled by Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) and added that healthy competition between the two discoms would improve service quality and consumer satisfaction while reducing complaints.

The hearing was held to discuss DHBVN's Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) petition for the financial year 2026-27.

The hearing also discussed promotion of solar energy and grid stability.
