In a major relief to domestic consumers using power over 300 units, the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TGERC) has rejected the proposal of the two DISCOMs to increase the fixed charge from Rs. 10 to Rs. 50 per kilowatt for the financial year 2024-25. However, the Commission has allowed the discoms to increase fixed charges for consumers using power over 800 units to Rs.50 per KW per unit from the current Rs. 10.
Since the discoms did not propose an increase in tariff of domestic consumers, there will be no change in the traffic for the current financial year. The DISCOMs were expecting to get an additional revenue of Rs.1200 crore through the hike proposed by it.
