Bengaluru: Power tariff up by 43 paise/unit for next 6 months

BENGALURU: Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) will charge 43 paise more per unit consumed by electricity users for the next six months, with effect from October, reports Niranjan Kaggere.

Electricity users are charged more after Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission approved electricity supply companies’ request to adjust the accumulated fuel adjustment charges (FAC). As per the notice issued by Bescom, consumers will be billed 43 paise more per unit until March 31. Given the 43-paisa hike per unit, any citizen consuming more than 100 units a month will pay up to Rs 40 more on their monthly bill.

Once accrued fuel charges are recovered, hike will be nixed
