Delhi Power Bills To Rise

The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has given its approval for power distribution companies to charge an additional fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge (FPPA) for the month of May 2026. This surcharge is expected to be higher than the previously set limit of 10%. The move is likely to result in an increase in power bills for consumers in Delhi. The DERC's decision is based on the current market conditions and the rising cost of fuel and power purchase. The commission has allowed the power distribution companies to pass on the additional cost to the consumers.
