Delhi discoms petition DERC, cite revenue gap to seek tariff hike
Discoms in Delhi have sought a cost-reflective tariff for the current financial year through aggregate revenue requirement and true-up petitions to power regulator DERC, sources in the distribution companies said.
Electricity rates in Delhi have not been hiked since 2014.
In their true-up (reconciliation of actual and estimated accounts) petitions, the discoms have shown a revenue gap of Rs 2,906 crore. The aggregate revenue requirement (ARR) petitions project a standalone revenue gap of Rs 7,817 crore.
The petitions were uploaded on the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) website.
