This decision stems from the Railways' direct purchase of electricity from power generators (gencos) instead of state electricity distribution companies (discoms) since 2015. The discoms argued that they lost...

APTEL concluded that the Railways does indeed operate an electricity distribution system and therefore must pay the additional surcharges, potentially impacting passenger ticket prices.
Indian Railways, jo ki India ka sabse bada electricity consumer hai, usko ab electricity bill mein extra surcharge dena padega.

APTEL ne decide kiya ki Railways ke pass actually electricity distribution system hai, isliye surcharge dena padega. Isse shayad passengers ke ticket prices badh sakte hain.
