Mumbai, Mar 21: Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited has retained its position as India’s top-ranked power distribution utility for the second consecutive year, achieving a score of 92.5 in the latest national assessment.

The company, part of the Adani Group, received an A+ rating among 66 electricity distribution companies, driven by strong performance in supply reliability, billing accuracy, and grievance redressal, according to an official statement.
