Bihar regulator keeps power tariffs unchanged for FY 2026–27
Change
The Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission kept electricity tariffs unchanged across all consumer categories for financial year 2026–27 and rejected Discoms' proposal for a 35 paise per-unit increase.
Why it matters
A full commission of the Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission issued tariff orders for financial year 2026–27. The commission rejected proposals from North Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd and South Bihar Power Distribution Company Ltd for a uniform 35 paise per-unit increase in energy charges. The commission merged two slabs into one for three consumer categories: urban domestic, rural commercial, and urban commercial. The unchanged tariffs apply for the financial year beginning April 1, 2026.
Implications
- • Distribution companies cannot implement the proposed 35 paise-per-unit energy-charge increase for FY 2026–27.
- • Billing and revenue recognition for customer invoices will use existing tariff rates for the billing periods within FY 2026–27.
