6.4.1. Discoms have proposed to reduce the number of slabs to 3 Nos. by merging the slabs – “0 to 100 units” and “101 to 200 units” to form a new slab of “0 to 200 units”. Further, fixed and energy charges to be levied on this proposed category is proposed to be similar to the fixed and energy charge being currently levied on the slab “101 to 200 units.
6.4.2. Discoms have proposed the fixed charges of Rs. 208/connection/month for consumers having sanctioned connected load upto 5 KW and consumption in the new slab of “0-200”units against the fixed charges of earlier slab i.e. Rs 175/connection/month, whereas increase in energy charges of above two slabs have been proposed from existing Rs. 5.60 per unit and Rs. 6 per unit respectively to Rs. 7.14 per unit.
6.4.3. The fixed charges for consumers upto 5 KW of sanctioned connected load and having consumption in the slab of 201-500 units per month i.e. Rs 210/connection/month have been proposed to be increased to Rs. 250/connection/month, whereas increase in energy charges of above slab has been proposed from existing Rs. 6.25 per unit to Rs. 7.44 per unit.
137 6.4.4. The fixed charges for consumers upto 5 KW of sanctioned connected load
and having consumption in the slab of above 500 units per month i.e. Rs 250/connection/month have been proposed to be increased to Rs. 298/connection/month, whereas increase in energy charges of above slab has been proposed from existing Rs. 6.60 per unit to Rs. 7.85 per unit.
6.4.5. The fixed charges for consumers above 5 KW of sanctioned connected load and having consumption in the slab of 0-100 units, 101-200 and 201-500 units per month i.e. Rs 70/KW of SCL per month have been proposed to be increased to Rs. 83/ KW of SCL per month, whereas increase in energy charges of above three slabs has been proposed from existing Rs. 5.60 per unit, Rs. 6 per unit and Rs. 6.25 per unit respectively to Rs. 7.14 per unit for the first two slab and Rs. 7.44 per unit for the third slab.
6.4.6. The fixed charges for consumers above 5 KW of sanctioned connected load and having consumption in the slab of above 500 units per month have been proposed to be increased from Rs 80/KW of SCL per month to Rs. 95/KW of SCL per month, whereas increase in energy charges of above slab has been proposed from Rs. 6.60 per unit to Rs. 7.85 per unit.
6.4.7. The fixed charges for NDS/HT-2 of Rs 140/KVA of billing demand per month have been proposed to be increased to Rs. 167/KVA of billing demand per month, whereas increase in energy charges of above slab has been proposed from Rs. 6.25 per unit to Rs. 7.44 per unit.
6.4.8. Many stakeholders stated that the proposed tariff for NDS is beyond the limit of +20% of average cost of supply as stipulated in National Tariff policy and Regulations. The Commission while determining the tariff has kept in view the average cost of supply and realization from this category.
6.4.9. Further, the stakeholders have also stated that last year Discoms increased the slabs from 3 to 4, stating that it would lead towards energy conservation, which was accepted by the Commission. Now Discoms have proposed to reduce the slabs from 4 to 3. The sudden change in slabs would defeat the last year’s philosophy. The stakeholders also stated that the telescopic tariff should not be abolished, as benefit of all lower slabs must be allowed. Even in income tax slabs, it is so.
6.4.10. As decided in Domestic category, the Commission, while determining the tariff for the above category considering the views of the stakeholders, has not accepted the request of Discoms for reduction in slabs & abolition of telescopic structure in Non Domestic category also. The Existing, proposed tariff and that approved by the Commission is given in the following tables:
