Delhi government lowered the power tariff.

The Delhi government has lowered power tariff, giving the much sought-after relief to residents of the capital.The decision was taken after the protests of Kejrival and IAC activists outside the BSES office( one of Delhi’s power utility companies) for rollback of the 26 per cent hike in power tariff that came into effect on July 1.
During his agitation in early October, Kejriwal had asked residents not to pay power bills till the tariff was reduced.

WHAT HAS CHANGED ?
CHANGES IN POLICY ARE DESCRIBED  BELOW

• Under the new rates announced by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) on Monday(OCT 22), a domestic consumer will be charged Rs 3.50 per unit for the first 200 units, 
• and consumers with a monthly usage ranging between 200 and 400 units will pay Rs 5.50 per unit. 
•  The rate will increase to Rs 6.50 per unit for consumption between 400 and 600 units.

Kejrival however alleged  that the government had done a partial rollback. He said he would keep protesting till a complete rollback. “Till the usage of 200 units, there is absolutely no relief. Then how is it helping the common man?” he asked.

BACKGROUND The tariff has been hiked four times in the last 10 months. The regulatory commission had hiked the tariff by 22 per cent for all categories of consumers in August 2011, followed by a five per cent increase in February and two per cent in May, to adjust the power purchase cost of distribution companies.

Due to these changes the population of Delhi served by Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd started getting steep power bills, which were higher by 27 per cent, while the increase in bills in the areas managed by BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd was 25 per cent.
