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%.
