Power distribution companies have excluded millions of electricity units generated by solar consumers, leading to bills after units exported to the grid were not adjusted.
According to a news report, DISCOs used the revised net metering policy to conceal line losses by not crediting exported solar units in consumer bills.
Solar consumers say recent policy changes are discouraging rooftop solar adoption, as excess electricity generation beyond approved capacity is no longer credited in bills nationwide.

DISCOs have also withheld new net metering connections and contract approvals for two months, affecting customers who completed documentation and payments despite signed contracts earlier.
Despite signing contracts and paying demand notices, thousands of customers have not been issued net meters by power distribution companies over the past two months.
Additionally, export units generated by solar consumers were excluded from electricity bills issued this month, resulting in heavy charges for affected customers during this period.
