The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission on Thursday issued interim orders revising the power tariffs, including that of the domestic category, for an eight-month period from November 1 this year to June 30, 2024.
The Commission has allowed an average increase of only 20 paise per unit in the tariffs overall, although the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) had sought 40.6 paise per unit. For domestic consumers with monthly consumption up to 250 units, the Commission has allowed a maximum increase of 20 paise.
The new per-unit tariffs for the domestic category in the telescopic and non-telescopic slabs are as follows: Telescopic: 0-40 units (₹ 1.50 - no change); 0-50 units (₹ 3.25), 51-100 units (₹ 4.05), 101-150 units (₹ 5.10); 151-200 units (₹ 6.95); 201-250 units (₹ 8.20).
