As Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) approved the proposal for increased power tariff with minimal changes, power utility Tangedco maintained that the increase was not steep. However, consumers were disappointed.
Tangedco said domestic consumers using up to 500 units bimonthly are paying ₹1,130 now. However, if the consumption goes up by just one unit, they have to pay ₹1,786, which is 58.10% higher, and this has been set right in the new tariff structure.
