New Delhi: In major relief for residents of Delhi, the Delhi Power Regulator DERC has lowered the power tariff in the national capital.
The board has reinstated the 201 to 400 units' slab, which it had scrapped earlier. The abolition of the 201-400 units' slab and introduction of 0-400 units' slab had resulted in significant increase in electricity bills of majority of consumers whose consumption was below 400 units.
Now as per the new rates, a domestic consumer will be charged Rs 3.70 per unit for the first 200 units of power. Consumers having monthly usage between 200 to 400 units will have to pay Rs 5.50 per unit of power. For those consuming above 650 units, the charge will be Rs 6.50.
The decision comes after protests from various quarters including the BJP and Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal had asked people not to pay power bills till the tariff is brought down.
