Will electricity be expensive in Delhi or not?? 10 percent increase in power purchase rates

In Delhi, the nation’s capital, electricity costs can be high. Under the terms of the power purchase agreement, power supply firms have been given permission to raise the rates of power purchase by 10%.

Even yet, the government will ultimately decide whether or not to raise electricity costs. To determine Delhi’s new electricity pricing, a procedure is now underway. After considering public input, a final decision will be made.

The Delhi administration also claimed that the tariff increase wouldn’t directly impact consumers. In the summer, electricity costs increase. The expense of the power purchase agreement has increased the cost of electricity. This is a typical method, according to power supply firms. The DERC must be consulted almost annually before power supply firms can propose an increase in the power purchase agreement’s pricing. This time, it was accepted, which led to speculation that the power price could rise by as much as 10%.

Why is Kejriwal’s liquor policy in question?

Several claims have been made regarding the new excise duty. This is also said to have given liquor licence holders an unfair edge. When issuing licences, the regulations were broken. Rs 144 crore in liquor contractors’ fees were waived after the tender. According to the report, licence costs were waived through this scheme under the guise of Corona. Benefits were provided to liquor dealers in exchange for bribes. The new excise policy, which was introduced with the intention of helping the liquor sellers, is said to have resulted in a significant loss of revenue.
