The residents of Noida have expressed their dissatisfaction with the proposed hike in the electricity tariff for domestic consumers in the state. They also want fixed charges to be removed.
The residents presented their views on the matter during a public hearing on Friday at the Sector 62 Expomart with senior officials of the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission. The hearing started around 11am and went on until 4.30pm.
“We have given a memorandum of our demands to the chairman, UP Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC). Noida’s line losses are minimum and revenue recovery is highest. So, Noida shouldn’t be additionally burdened by the increased tariff,” said KK Jain, secretary-general, Federation of Noida Residents’ Welfare Association.
