HYDERABAD: Telangana’s 1.54 crore power consumers have to pay more from April 1 as the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC) has permitted power distribution companies (Discoms) to collect Rs 5,596 crore as additional revenue in 2022-23.
The power tariff is being increased after a gap of five years in the State. However, for domestic consumers in the category of 1-50 units, the power tariff is being revised after a gap of 19 years. The hike will be 14 per cent against the present tariff. The ERC approved the Discoms’ proposal to increase 50 paise per unit for domestic consumers and Rs 1 per unit for High Tension (HT) consumers.
