Electricity prices rose 5% in August in India's capital

On the 29th, the Indian Awakening reported that the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission recently announced that the price of electricity in Delhi, India rose by 5%.

The new price will be implemented from August 1. Sutagal, the chairman of the committee, stated that the committee has made a price increase decision after considering the economic benefits of the power company. In addition, the committee also decided not to charge fuel surcharges. This means that the electricity rate in some parts of Delhi is actually increasing by 4%, while the electricity price in other parts is only increased by 0.5%.

The new electricity price still uses the ladder price charging method. Customers who use electricity in the 0 to 200 degree range need to pay an additional 0.2 rupees per unit (1 US dollar equivalent to 59 rupees), and an excess of 0.3 rupees per unit of excess between 201 and 800 degrees. More than 800 degrees will be charged at Rs 7 per unit.
