As the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) accepted the power distribution companies pleas to increase tariffs on the basis of the high cost of power purchase, Delhi Power Minister Atishi on Monday clarified that power consumers with monthly usage of over 200 units will have to pay more after an 8 per cent hike in the power purchase adjustment cost (PPAC).
She further blamed the Central Government for the power tariff hike in the national Capital.
Atishi said the hike will not impact consumers whose electricity consumption is 200 units or below. There will be a 8 per cent hike in PPAC surcharge in power bills of those consumers who do not get subsidy, she said.
