Chandigarh, 2 February 2025: Chandigarh’s electricity department officially transitioned to private management on Saturday, now operating as Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL).
The first day under the new administration saw uninterrupted power supply across the city.
Despite initial opposition to privatization, employees refrained from striking following assurances that they would retain government benefits.
A formal agreement secured their continued service conditions, including retirement benefits.
PR Kumar, president of power distribution at RPSG Group, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to employee welfare.
“With the ongoing support of both the people and the workforce, CPDL is set to lead the city toward a future of sustainable, efficient, and customer-focused energy distribution,” he said.
