MUMBAI: First the good news. The Tata power company (TPC) has proposed to reduce by 5% the tariff for those who consume up to 100 units a month. Now, the bad news. The TPC has also proposed an average hike of 13% for its residential consumers who use over 100 units of power a month.
With summer already here, the TPC proposal, if approved by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), would mean that Mumbaikars would have to shell out a lot more to keep their homes cool. The MERC will decide on the matter by May after a public hearing.
The TPC has proposed a 10% hike for residential consumers using 101-300 units of power a month. If the revised tarrif comes into effect, then you’ll have to pay Rs 4.29 per unit of power consumed as against the existing Rs 3.69.
