Tariff hike: Ex-minister for govt help

NEW DELHI: To take up the case of the power tariff hike further, former Union minister and convenor of Bijli Andolan Vijay Goel and Anil Sood (president CHETNA) has sought for an appointment from Union minister for power, Sushil Kumar Shinde, to lead the delegation of RWA's core committee. The andolan started from Talkotora stadium on November 27.

Reacting sharply to DERC granting extension of time to BRPL and BYPL to produce accounts/financials and details of arrangement being made by the discoms, Goel questioned the decision of DERC on the ground that the accounts of discoms have been very recently reviewed by the DERC at the time of passing tarff determination order and nothing new has happened in the last three months.

He also condemned the proposed decision of bailout by the Delhi government involving Rs. 500 crores and questioned the discom's claim of low tariffs when data available from indian energy exchange shows otherwise.
