It is now official. The Capital’s power distribution companies have sought up to a 70% increase in power tariff.
In the annual document called Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) submitted to the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), the discoms have shown humungous revenue gaps, which, if approved, will be passed on to consumers next year and will cause a sharp spike in the cost of consumption.
Going by the ARR calculations, BSES Rajdhani (BRPL), the biggest discom, has sought around a 69 per cent increase, while its cousin, BSES Yamuna (BYPL), the smallest commercial discom, has pitched for around a 60 per cent hike.
Both the discoms are controlled by Anil Ambani's Reliance. The Tata-backed North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL) has asked for 52 per cent increase in tariff.
