Electricity bills of power consumers in Delhi to be hiked by 7-10% in May-June period

Delhi residents will face a 7-10% electricity bill hike in May-June due to revised Power Purchase Adjustment Cost (PPAC) approved by DERC. This increase, attributed to rising fuel costs, has been met with criticism from residents’ associations who allege procedural irregularities. Discoms defend the PPAC as essential for covering power purchase costs and maintaining financial stability.
