Fuel Surcharge Recovery Rule Amendment by Haryana Power Distribution Companies

planned

Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) have filed petitions with the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) seeking amendments to Regulation 68 of the Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) Regulations, 2024 for financial year 2025-26. The proposal aims to defer the monthly recovery of additional costs arising from fuel and power purchase through the Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) and instead recover the amount in subsequent financial years at a uniform rate of 47 paise per unit across all consumer categories. They have also sought permission to include carrying cost to ensure recovery of dues. The Commission has initiated a public consultation process and has not taken an immediate decision.
