NEW DELHI: VVIPs in Delhi will now have to dish out more for power. Two weeks after announcing new fuel price adjustment (FPA) surcharge for private distribution companies, Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has announced 11% FPA for New Delhi Municipal Council (NMDC) to be applicable from May 14 to August 14, 2012. With this, power tariff in NDMC areas may have seen a significant increase but overall power tariff will still be lower than those paid by consumers in other parts of the city under private discoms.
The new tariff will be applicable in residential areas like Lutyen's Bunglow Zone, Sarojini Nagar, Malcha Marg, Lodi Road, Chanakyapuri, Khan Market, Kaka Nagar, Sujan Singh Park, Sunder Nagar, Golf Links, Jor Bagh, among other places, which come under NDMC and will be charged on energy consumed from May 14 to August 14. The commission received submissions from NDMC on May 3 for new FPA after the previous surcharge expired on April 30. "Government-run NDMC along with all three private discoms had been allowed a 5% FPA from February to April. This time based on their submissions, each discom has been allowed a different FPA based on their expenses and power purchase accounts from January to March, 2012. On the basis of the information submitted by NDMC and considering first power purchase bills and billed amounts reflecting in the auditor's certificate, the regulator approved FPA charges of 11%,'' said regulator chairperson P D Sudhakar.
