Electricity tariff likely to be hiked by 30 paise per unit in Karnataka

Electricity consumers of Karnataka will have to shell out more as the Karnataka Electricity Regularity Commission (KERC) is likely to implement a hike in the tariff by an average of 30 paise per unit.
The 30 paise/unit average consists of a hike of Rs 15 in the fixed charge and 10 paise per unit hike. The revised tariff is likely to come into effect starting from March and April.
The higher tariff will add to the economic hardship to the poor who use less than 30 units per month while those using 30 to 100 units will see the bill remaining the same or reduced slightly.
Though many sectors are yet to recover from the blow dealt by the pandemic, there may not be relief in sight as Energy Minister V. Sunil Kumar, last month, had stated that a hike in power tariff was inevitable as implementation of development works in the sector needs additional funds.
