New Delhi: In a large assistance for nearly 62 lakh electricity consumers in the capital, the Delhi electric regulation commission regulator did not climb rates while announcing numbers for 2020-21.
Derc said found “no good reason” to raise the tariff.
However, there will be a marginal increase in the monthly power bill from October 1 due to an increase in ‘pension trust’ increasing from 5% to 7%.
DERC did not consider the increase in the previous fiscal year rate also because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Discount power has requested an increase in tariffs in their petition to the commission to reduce the impact of the pandemic.
DERC has maintained additional costs of regulatory assets, which apply to discoms, unchanged at 8%.
However, it has increased the cost of retirement trust related to the Vidyut Board employee Delhi Ershtwhile from 5% to 7%.
Last year, DERC had increased the same charge from 3.8% to 5%, in accordance with the interests and welfare of DVB retirees employees.
“This is the order of fair and good tariffs and competitive rates,” said Chairman Derc Shabihul Hasnain (RETD) to Ti, added that there was no reason for tariff increases.
He also said that the reason for retirement additional costs must increase is because government salaries rose since the seventh salary commission implemented and DVB employees were government employees.
This requires a proportional increase in their retirement.
Chairman of the Minister of Arvind Kejriwal responded to the DERC command with tweeting in Hindi, “Happy Delhi.
There is no change in the price of electricity in Delhi for the 7th year in a row.
While on the one hand electricity touches the sky in another country, Delhiit does not only get electricity Cheap 24 hours but also up to 200 free electricity units.

To promote ‘Green Power’, DERC has agreed to the ceiling tariff for ‘Mukhya Mantri Kisan Aay Badhotari Solar Yojana’, which is a back-to-back agreement among farmers, developers and discounts.
This will enable farmers to install solar panels in their farms and get monthly income approved by the Delhi government.
DERC has ignored Cum Line Cum Development services (SLD) and network augmentation costs for all renewable energy projects and decided to continue with subsidized tariffs that exist for e-rickshaw and e-vehicles.
Rates for charging stations for e-rickshaw and e-vehicles on one point delivery because it is notified in the tariff schedule also applies to battery charging in exchange facilities as long as exchanging facilities are only used to exchange e-vehicle batteries.
