After the city government’s subsidy, domestic users of 0-200 slab will have to pay `2.70 per unit and users of 201-400 slab will have to pay `5 per unit, which is lower than the current tariff of `5.50.

“The DERC is the sole authority to decide on the power rates. The city government has once again displayed its prudence by enhancing subsidy under a slab from 0 to 200 units and introducing another subsidy under a slab from 201 to 400 units. The city government would release around `550 crores to meet the fresh and enhanced subsidy,” Ms Dikshit said in a statement released on Friday evening.
All the three discoms — BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) — and the NDMC had sought a substantial hike in power tariff varying between 5-13 per cent citing higher power purchase cost.
“After the revised rates, the users of TPDDL will have to pay only two per cent extra while BYPL and BRPL consumers will have to pay 0.5 per cent extra. NDMC consumers will have to pay three per cent extra,” DERC chairperson P.D. Sudhakar said.
A surcharge of eight per cent has been continued for the three discoms while no surcharge was found necessary for NDMC citing fewer deficits.
