VIJAYAWADA: Maintaining that there will be a marginal increase of electricity charges of consumers as per the Retail Supply Tariff Order released by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC), Secretary (Energy) B Sridhar on Thursday said as the APERC fixed the tariff based on a single telescopic method, the burden will be less.<\/p>\n
