Power bills to increase in Gujarat as fuel surcharge raised by 10 paise per unit
The electricity bills for all categories of consumers (excluding agriculture) in Gujarat is expected to see a jump as the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) on Saturday decided to increase fuel surcharge on every unit of power consumed by 10 paise.
The spike in electricity costs will be applicable from October 1, 2021. GUVNL which has been buying expensive electricity from the power exchanges ( as high as Rs 15-17 per unit) to tide over the shortage of power, has worked out an increase in Fuel and Power Purchase Price Adjustment Charges (FPPPA) to the tune of 50 paise per unit for the second quarter (July-September) 2021-22.
