Sections of domestic consumers too will have to cross-subsidise cost of power supply to others

Certain sections of the domestic consumers of electricity, too, will assume the burden of cross-subsidising the cost of power supplied to the poorer sections from the current year. At present, private educational institutions and sections of the industry are among those that cross-subsidise the cost of power supplied to others.

The quantum of burden on the sections of domestic consumers is bound to go up in the next four years, according to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission’s latest tariff order, which is valid until 2026-27.
