DERC must waive all the Fixed charges & other levies during LOCKDOWN

30th April 2020 

Secretary. DERC,
Malviya Nagar,
New Delhi 

Dear Sir,  

As requested earlier, DERC must waive all the Fixed charges as well as all the other levies on all the Bills generated during the LockDown period. It must be done for all the consumers of Delhi, i.e. for the Commercial as well as the Domestic ones. 

Please note, Delhiites are already paying the Fixed charges on the Total Sanctioned Load of 22876 MW, while the actual and the Highest ever peak load of the Consumers is not even 1/3rd of the Total sanctioned load.  

Shockingly, Commercial consumers are getting huge bills even during this LockDown due to the Fixed Charges & related levies. Even non-commercial consumers, such as Religious places, with Doors shut, are getting huge bills, due to the Fixed charges & other levies.

In this hour of DEEP CRISES, when everything is under the LOCKDOWN, this is the minimum we can expect from DERC, and DISCOMs of Delhi, to give some relief to the consumers. 

Please revert at the earliest. Thanks

PLEASE NOTE: Even the DISCOMs have sought Discount on Fixed Charges from NTPC, which may reduce the Profits of NTPC by 9%:
