Electricity bills are set to get expensive for Tata Power’s residential customer since the state electricity regulatory commission has approved a 25% increase in tariff for the year FY14. Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has approved an average increase in tariff to Rs 5.26 per unit from the existing Rs 4.19 for FY14 for residential consumers, which will be effective from July 1.

However, more surprises are in store for the company’s customers, given the Commission has approved the multi-year tariff plan till 2016, which will allow the company to increase 15% for FY15 and 11% for FY16. Thus, for FY15, the average tariff for residential consumers has been increased to Rs 6.07 per unit while for FY16 it would be hiked to Rs 6.74.

According to the new tariff plan for FY14, consumers in the below poverty line (BPL) category will have to pay 10 paise per unit, while the tariff for 0-100 units has been fixed at 26 paise, 101-300 units at Rs 1.85 and for those consuming above 500 units, the tariff has been fixed at Rs 5.91. The wheeling charges for all the categories have been fixed at Rs 1.87 per unit.
