It’s never a ‘dull moment’ with Delhi and Delhiites, especially when it comes to the weather. People suffer from extreme cold in winter, whereas streets mostly submerge in flood water during monsoon. Not to forget the heat strokes that make Delhi and its surrounding areas a living hell in summers. All in all, weather and Delhi are not exactly the ‘best of friends’. With that said, people receiving electricity bills in thousands this summer was way more common. Adding to the list, another incident came forward, where a Delhi man received a bill of Rs 30,280, allegedly for the month of June.
As per a post shared by the said man, he bought 4 ACs, out of which, 2 ACs mostly ran simultaneously, resulting in the bill. The post went viral, as people, especially residents in the NCR, found the issue relatable.
The post was shared on social media platform Reddit, by the Redditor ‘Agitated-Variety-732’. The post was captioned, “Pain. How is this even possible?”
The post’s description read, “Bought new ACs thinking it’ll save money. It did not, in fact, save money. 4 ACs, out of which at least 2 running at a time.” The post was shared three days ago and pulled more than 1K upvotes from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Bought new ACs thinking it’ll save money. It did not, in fact, save money. 4 ACs, out of which at least 2 are running at a time,” a user said. “You’re using 4 ACs, out of which at a time two ACs are running. We don’t know whether they’re 5 stars or not, so let’s say you’re using two 2-star ACs at a time, that's a normal bill. Apart from ACs, you’re also using other appliances or machines,” added another.
“Electric bills in the month of June have shot up like crazy everywhere in NCR man. I have 2 ACs and they were not even being used that much compared to May or July and yet the electric bill for May was 7k while June was 20k,” commented a third person. “That sure is a lot for just 2 ACs,” added another.
