    Delhi: From now on, consume more electricity, but pay less!

    What's the story

    This is a power-packed news for all you Delhiites! From now on, your electricity bills will no longer be inflated.

    Rather, the more you will consume, the less you will pay. But there are conditions.

    From April 1, there will be a 32% slash in electricity tariff across all categories.

    However, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) said fixed charges will be hiked substantially.

    Detailing out

    For residents, those consuming beyond 400 units will enjoy benefits

    Though power charges have been reduced through all the slabs, those consuming electricity up to 200 units will also have to pay a fixed charge that has now been raised by six times.

    For 200-400 units and 400-800 units, there is a substantial 32% decrease than the earlier rate per unit.

    So cumulative effect of this reduction will help those consuming beyond 400 units.

    Information

    Subsidy to decrease too with decrease in energy charges?

    There is also a provision of 50% subsidy given by Delhi government for those using 0-200 units and 201-400 units, calculated on the energy charges (rate per unit) and not fixed charge. So with decrease in energy charges, the subsidy is expected to decrease too.

    Environmental push?

    Industrial tariff flat fixed, no tariff change for e-rickshaws, vehicles

    Tariffs for commercial and industrial consumers like DIAL are now fixed at a flat Rs. 7.25 per unit from the next fiscal while for DMRC, DJB it stands at Rs. 5.75 per unit from Rs. 6.10 and Rs. 8, respectively.

    Interestingly, the only tariff that remains unchanged is for e-rickshaws and vehicles, possibly as a part of Delhi Government's environmental push.

    Information

    'Hiked fixed charge to benefit consumers, restructured tariff more revenue'

    The amount that discoms like BRPL pay to utilities from which they obtain power is called fixed charge. DERC officials said hike in that would benefit consumers in long run. They added that with the new tariff schedule, financial health of the sector may improve.
