Delhiites to pay more for power from next month

Delhi power bills are set to increase for lakhs of consumers as the DERC allows discoms to recover higher fuel and power purchase costs. Consumers in BYPL areas will see a 5.7% rise, while BRPL consumers face a 3.4% increase, effective from July. This hike follows a sharp rise in procurement costs due to increased demand and expensive market purchases. Delhi power bills are set to increase for lakhs of consumers as the DERC allows discoms to recover higher fuel and power purchase costs.
