Fuel surplus charge will be deducted

Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has announced that the fuel surplus charge will be cut by 2 percent from May. In April, consumers had to pay a 1.24% fuel surcharge fee, but now every month the process of increase or deduction in fuel charge will be adopted. Awadhesh Verma, President of UP Electricity Consumer Council, gave information about this decision.

Fuel surcharge will not increase in future also

Awadhesh Verma said that the amount of surplus of consumers has been Rs 170 crore in February. It has also been clarified that now UPPCL will not be able to increase fuel overload fee without directly benefiting consumers. The council has also informed about the outstanding of about Rs 33,122 crore of consumers on UPPCL. If companies increase arbitrarily, the council will take up the matter in the Regulatory Commission.
