The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) has provided significant relief to consumers in the state by rejecting a proposal from the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL). UPPCL had proposed a 10% increase in the additional surcharge on electricity bills for June, a move that the regulatory commission has now blocked. This decision will spare millions of electricity consumers in the state from bearing the burden of this hike in their bills.
Officials revealed that UPPCL had justified its proposal by stating that a 10% increase in the surcharge for June would impose an additional financial burden on consumers. However, UPERC deemed it inappropriate to levy an additional surcharge at this time and rejected the proposal. The commission’s decision will benefit domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers across the state, many of whom are already grappling with inflation and other economic challenges.
