Hi Yuvan Bhateja:

I am a new QE user too, but this tutorial video helped me with a similar
problem (Dipole moment correction in a supercell). Links are attached:

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzmX5P_lNXY
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES4kAK4jLfQ

I hope this helps you.

Regards
