Dear @Adani_Elec_Mum I got a bill of Rs5510/= on the 9th of May while in June I got a bill of Rs 29,700 combining May & June where you've charged me Rs 18080 for the month of May. How did Rs.5510/= become Rs.18080/=? pic.twitter.com/64zlmNe8Qo

Ditto... My bill is 3 X last months. #adani helpline told us not to pay and sort it out wheb the guy comes to cut the power by showing the last few bills. Crazy! Apparently Adani Bandra office is officially open but staff don't go due to Covid so no other way to sort it out https://t.co/eRKPgDelUK

My bill was 28000/- up from average of 8000/- @Adani_Elec_Mum . It seems they have added a lockdown surcharge. https://t.co/8qg0xKa6Y1

I was just going to tweet about it. Literally got a shock, pun intended. There was no surge in electricity, just the bill 🤔 @Adani_Elec_Mumhttps://t.co/zaJfQzFXla

Hi @myBESTElectric I’ve written to you this morning but the tweet has disappeared. Strange. You’ve been charging me a high amount on my bills even though I haven’t stayed in that flat since April 1st.
kindly send me a contact no. so I can speak to someone and sort this out.
