Karnataka Energy Minister K.J. George officially launched the BESCOM HT Mitra service portal, a digital initiative aimed at simplifying and expediting high-tension (HT) power connections in the state. The portal is designed to provide a seamless experience for industrial and commercial consumers seeking new HT connections or modifications to existing ones.
Key Features of HT Mitra Portal
The HT Mitra portal offers a range of services, including online application submission, real-time tracking of application status, and digital payment options. Consumers can also access detailed information about tariff structures, connection procedures, and required documents through the platform. The initiative is expected to reduce processing time and enhance transparency in the power connection process.
Benefits for Consumers
With the launch of HT Mitra, BESCOM aims to eliminate manual intervention and reduce bureaucratic delays. The portal enables consumers to submit applications from anywhere, at any time, and receive updates via SMS and email. This digital transformation is part of the government's broader effort to improve ease of doing business in Karnataka.
Government's Vision
Speaking at the launch event, Minister George emphasized the government's commitment to leveraging technology for efficient service delivery. He stated that the portal would not only benefit consumers but also help BESCOM streamline its operations and reduce paperwork. The minister also urged consumers to utilize the portal and provide feedback for further improvements.
The HT Mitra portal is now live and accessible through BESCOM's official website. BESCOM officials have assured that the system is secure and user-friendly, with dedicated support available for any technical issues.
