Even as the water tariff is set to increase by 3% from April 1, city residents have got a major relief, with the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) reducing the power tariff for the upcoming fiscal.
The new tariff, which has been decreased by up to 11%, will be applicable from April 1. More than 2 lakh consumers, across different categories, including domestic, commercial and industrial, will benefit from the JERC decision.
The last increase in the domestic and commercial electricity tariff was in 2018-2019.
