CHANDIGARH: With the Union government and UT administration pushing for privatisation of UT power department, the petition submitted by the UT administration before the Joint Electricity Regulatory commission (JERC) states that UT’s power department will continue to remain in revenue surplus of Rs 20.54 crore in 2022-23.
