Uproar over steep increase in electricity bills after tariff revision in July last

A large section of consumers whose monthly electricity bills have shown a steep increase since the tariff was revised in July this year, have petitioned the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission to review the current billing pattern. The consumers are outraged by the sharp escalation of the monthly dues and have demanded that the Commission rework the tariff structure and reintroduce the 201-400 units slab that has been dispensed with in the new tariff order.
