With high demand on the one hand and poor supply of electricity meters on the other, six districts coming under Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company (GESCOM) are said to be facing a shortage of electricity meters for industrial units and residential consumers for the last four months.
GESCOM has awarded the tender to Larsen and Toubro Limited (L&T) for production and supplying electricity meters in Kalaburagi, Bidar, Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal and Ballari districts, through its outlets.
However, L&T outlets have reamined closed in all the districts for the last few months, says Kalaburagi district president of the Karnataka State Licensed Electrical Contractors Association (KSLECA) Mubeen Ahmed.
