Tamil Nadu electricity tariff revision comes into effect; want to know how much you have to pay now?

CHENNAI: Starting today, the electricity you consume in the state will be charged higher as the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved the tariff revision proposal of the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco).
The power tariff would be hiked every year on July 1 from 2023-24 to 2026-27 based on inflation for all the consumer categories.
For the domestic consumers, the charges per unit is fixed at Rs 4.50 up to 400 units for two months. The existing tariff is Rs 3 per unit up to 500 units.
Above 400 units, the tariff is Rs 6 per unit up to 500 will. Above 500 units and up to 600, Rs 8 per unit will be charged.
Above 600 units and up to 800, the tariff will be Rs 9 per unit. The cost per unit between 800 and 1,000 units is Rs 10 and the consumption above 1,000 units will attract Rs 11 per unit.
TNERC has accepted the tariff revision proposed by Tangedco without making any changes, though there were concerns that the revision is too steep.
Since the Tangedco has introduced voluntary surrender of subsidy provided by the state government, a consumer consuming up to 400 units for two months will pay Rs 1,800 as electricity bill. However, those taking the state subsidy will get first 100 units for free and 50% waiver for the second 100 units consumed. So, they will have to pay Rs 1,125 for the same 400 units.

Individual houses, apartments, old age homes and handlooms are categorised under domestic slab.
The regulatory body has also stated that the common supply for lighting and motor pump in small apartments and additional connections in individual apartments should be brought under the new category LT-ID where each unit is charged Rs 8.
The tariff, fixed charges and other miscellaneous charges have been revised for industrial and other consumers too.
