Delhi electricity charges revised; rates per unit fall, fixed charges rise
Delhi Power Minister Satyendar Jain said the total electricity bills of every domestic consumer in Delhi across different categories have come down. "Everyone`s bills have come down. For some people by Rs 100, for some Rs 50....," he said, adding that the fixed rate had to be raised as the Central government increased the fixed rates of electricity produced by power plants from which the Delhi government purchases power, by 50 paise per unit.
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) today announced that charges for domestic users, per unit, have been reduced, while fixed charges per month have been increased. Image source: Reuters
