Discoms propose no hike in tariff for next fiscal in Andhra

VIJAYAWADA: Discoms have not proposed any change in the consumer tariffs for the ensuing financial year 2024-25. The revenue gap burden will not be on consumers. Whatever gap that may arise after the scrutiny of Discoms’ proposals by the AP Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC), it is expected that based on the recommendations, the government will come forward to bridge the gap through the subsidy support and tariff concessions as done in the previous year at an appropriate time as there will not be any increase in the power tariff in the financial year 2024-25 also.

The revenue gap at the current tariff for the financial year 2024-25 is estimated to be Rs 13,878.11 crore.
