Vehicles are needed for day to day execution of various job like operation and maintenance of electrical equipments, line and substation, recovery of demand from existing as well as permanent disconnected consumers, attending consumers complaints, regarding power supply and energy bills and supervising and monitoring of various work carried out by company.
