Starting Friday, power bills in Delhi set to increase marginally
Power bills in Delhi are set to go up slightly starting Friday.
Under the new power tariff order for 2021-22 announced by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) on Thursday, the pension trust surcharge, which is levied on every bill, has been increased from 5% to 7%. There are no changes in the fixed charges or energy charges.
“The tariff order remains largely the same as last year, with only a 2 percentage point increase in pension trust surcharge. The commission considered all relevant factors and came to the conclusion that there are no good reasons for any increase in the tariff, except in pension trust surcharge,” said a senior official of the commission.
