The Delhi government has asked the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) to undertake a “strict and intensive audit” of the circumstances in which three electricity distribution companies or discoms — BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) — have continued operating despite the non-recovery of regulatory assets. “The audit shall extend to all matters incidental or ancillary to, or necessary for, conducting the aforesaid audit in accordance with law,” read the order issued by the Delhi government’s Power Department.

The Delhi High Court declined to halt the Delhi government's preliminary CAG audit notice to BSES. The order keeps the audit dispute alive as courts weigh how Delhi's regulatory assets should be examined.
