Its really shocking that
Power Tariff has been revised upwards by DERC, by 24.15%. Just 11 months
ago in August 2011, it was raised by 22%. After that DERC added 5% on
the name of Fuel surcharge & later raised it by another 2%. Though
the said Fuel surcharge of 7% has been removed, it has added Power
Purchase Cost Adjustment surcharge of 8%. Therefore we can say now that
since August 2011, Power Tariff is up by 22% + 24% = 46%. In addition,
8% PPCAS of 8% will be charged on the total bill.
Though BJP has
promised massive protests from 29th of this month & congress
spokesperson Mr Jatinder Kochar has assured that the matter will be
raised in the DPCC meeting tomorrow with Mr J P Agarwal, a lolypop of a
few percentages can be expected in a day or two.
