Delhi has jumped points to beat Mumbai in the ranking released by the World Bank for the ease of getting electricity.
The rankings show that as against the 47 days that Mumbaikers had to wait for getting an electricity connection, Delhiites had to wait for 45 days.
The cities were judged on criteria such as the procedure to be followed, cost incurred by the applicant, time taken to get a connection, the reliability of the supply and transparency of the tariff index.
Because of the privatisation of power in the National Capital, though the cost incurred for applying for a connection was higher compared to its counterparts, the services were much better, which had let to an increase in the ranking.
Many took to social media to congratulate the Delhi government for this achievement.
“AAP Delhi govt. helped gain ease of doing business in world bank report. While BJP ruled Mumbai remained same. 10 points jump in Delhi [sic],” read a tweet.
