The UP Rajya Vidyut Upbhokta Parishad has demanded 10% rebate in power consumers’ electricity bills in rest of the state in the same way the Noida Power Company (NPCL) consumers in the Greater Noida area have been given the discount in their bills.
Parishad chairman Avdhesh Kumar Verma on Monday filed a petition in this regard in the UP Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC), arguing the commission must allow 10% rebate in bills because the discoms’ surplus that they owed to consumers had reached ₹33,121 crore.
“UPERC chairman RP Singh assured us that the commission would take a call on our petition within the regulatory framework,” Verma said in a press release.
