The Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) report for the current financial year (2024-25) was submitted to the National Electricity Regulatory Council (ERC) on Wednesday evening.
If approved by the ERC, the amendments proposed in all three categories could generate an additional revenue of Rs.1.2 billion for the deficit.
The ERC will hold public hearings in three locations nationwide before making a final decision. The entire process is expected to take 90 days.
Electricity tariffs: Impact on domestic consumers
Discoms have proposed to increase the fixed rates for households consuming more than 300 per month from Rs. 10 to Rs. 50.

ERC penalizes discoms for late reporting
The ERC imposed a penalty of Rs. 21 lakh in Discom for the late submission of the ARR report. The report was originally due in November 2023 but was delayed due to elections. The ERC indicated that future delays could lead to increased penalties.
Next ARR report is due in November 2024
DISCOM has submitted a revised ARR report for the next financial year (2025-26) by November 2024.
