June 12, 2015 21:11

Power tariff in the national capital was today hiked by up to six per cent by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission as it restored a surcharge to compensate the private electricity distribution companies for rise in power purchase cost.

Reacting to the DERC's decision, the Aam Aadmi Party Government said it will ask the regulator to review the hike as it will put additional burden on the consumers. The hike will be effective from Monday.
