The Haryana government has announced reducing power tariff by 37 paise per unit for electricity consumers in the state. With this move, electricity consumers will get relief of about Rs 1 billion per month.
The power distribution companies have achieved a substantial reduction in the average power purchase cost of about 46 paise per unit during 2020-21 over the previous year due to better planning and scheduling. This has also been reflected in fuel surcharge adjustment (FSA) calculations done by the state power regulator. Hence to pass this benefit in reduction of cost to the consumers particularly during the Covid time, the state government has decided to waive the 37 paise FSA being charged from the consumers henceforth.
