In summer, pay at least 40% more for power

NEW DELHI: This summer, be careful of how much electricity you consume as the summer of 2012 is likely to give a jolt to Delhiites in terms of their electricity bills.

The real effect of the power tariff hike will be felt when increased power consumption accompanied by the rise in tariff is likely to escalate bills in the hot months of May, June and July. In addition to last year's tariff hike of 22% and the implementation of the 5% quarterly fuel surcharge, discoms' demand for overall power purchase adjustment formula are expected to send bills surging during these months. 

Experts say that on average, Delhiites can expect their bills to be up by approximately 40-50% due to a combination of all these factors and the annual 20% rise in power demand.
