Delhi Election 2025: The Aam Aadmi Party government of Delhi has given a big gift to the people of Delhi on the occasion of the New Year. According to the statement issued by the ‘AAP’ government, the surcharge on electricity bills has been reduced significantly just before the assembly elections. This will give great relief to the people and the electricity bill will also reduce.
In fact, the rates of Power Purchase Adjustment Charge (PPAC) which were earlier 35.83 percent for BRPL, 38.12 percent for BYPL and 36.33 percent for TPDDL. Now it has been reduced to 18.19 percent, 13.63 percent and 20.52 percent respectively. After this reduction, the electricity bills of all consumers of Delhi will come down. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi also holds the power ministry. He said that this has been possible only because of the honest and people-friendly government of Aam Aadmi Party.
Chief Minister Atishi said that the Delhi government has been able to achieve this (electricity surcharge) only through proper management and pre-planning of the power supply chain. He also informed that in neighbouring cities like Noida and Gurugram, not only are the electricity rates high, but there are also frequent power cuts during the summer season. Whereas in Delhi, people enjoy 24-hour power supply and due to our policies, in many cases their electricity bills are also zero.
Chief Minister Atishi said that the Delhi government has always given priority to protecting consumers from increase in electricity tariffs. So that the electricity distribution companies (DISCOMs) follow the rules set by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC). DERC, which is the only authorized body to impose Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charge, works under its ‘Tariff Regulations 2017’. In this manual, all the details of the process, framework, approval, recovery and adjustment related to PPAC have been decided.
