New Delhi Municipal Council for hike in power tariff
NEW DELHI: New Delhi Municipal Council ( NDMC) has proposed a 20% hike in power tariff to meet its projected revenue gap of Rs 180.6 crore, said P D Sudhakar, DERC chairman.
The civic agency has submitted its aggregate revenue requirement (ARR) to Delhi Electricity Regulatory Authority, which will now scrutinize the documents. The civic agency had increased the tariff by 11% last year.
ARR of the three other discoms — BYPL, BRPL and Tata Powers — is also under scrutiny. Of the three, BYPL sought a maximum hike of 13% on the basic power bill along with 15-20% hike in surcharge. TATA Powers asked for a hike of 6% in both. BRPL sought a 1.6% hike and 15-20%increase in surcharge.
