Amid the speculation of hike in the power tariff, the regulatory body Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission (BERC) on Wednesday announced that there will be “no tariff hike for 2026-27 across all categories” as it decided to keep the tariff rate unchanged for next financial year starting April 01.
The decision will provide a big relief to the 2.22 crore power consumers in Bihar.
The Commission rejected the proposal of both Discoms — North Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd & South Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd — for 35 paise tariff hike across categories in energy charges.
