New Delhi: Calling its allegation ‘factually incorrect’, the Tata Power Delhi Distribution limited (TPDDl) has written to the CAG’s office and the power department stating that the power utility has provided full cooperation to the CAG officers during the audit process. “On an average, eight working days have been taken by us to respond to the requisitions. Out of 21 requisitions by the Auditor, TPDDl has already responded to 13. In some cases, owing to the voluminous nature of some of the requisitions, some amount of time is needed to respond. Apart from the requisitions, the company has provided important documents to the audit team, including the ARR, Tariff Orders, ATE Orders, Power Purchase Agreements, Accounts, amongst other,” read the letter. The power utility also added that the records of some of its departments is run by high tech SAP modules which only SAP-trained persons must operate or else it would result in the system to crash.
