File tariff hike proposals, TSERC tells power discoms

Hyderabad: Telangana power distribution companies have declared that there is a gap of Rs 21,500 crore between their revenue earnings and revenue requirements in 2021-22 and 2022-23.
To fill the revenue gap, the discoms have decided to revise power tariff which will be filed separately soon. Power tariff hike is likely to come into effect from April 2022 after conducting public hearings by the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC).
Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) and Telangana State Northern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSNPDCL) submitted their aggregate revenue requirement (ARR) proposals to the TSERC on Monday but did not submit power retail tariff revision details like the hiked amount and category.
