After the recent rise in CNG, petrol and diesel prices, households may soon face higher electricity bills as well. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has proposed increasing fixed monthly electricity charges, a move that could raise power bills even for consumers with lower usage.
According to a report by The Times of India, the proposal aims to help power distribution companies (discoms) recover mounting costs as more consumers shift to rooftop solar systems and industries increasingly rely on captive power generation.
