The hike in power tariffs announced by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission is not at all industry-friendly and would push up electricity bills in the sector, the Kerala High Tension (HT)-Extra High Tension (EHT) Industrial Electricity Consumers' Association which represents major industries in the State has said.
While the Commission has increased tariffs by 6.6% overall for all categories of consumers, for the high-end industrial consumers alone, the hike comes to approximately 11% to 12%, which is almost double, according to representatives of the association.
