Power tariffs in Tamilnadu underwent a major revision in April 2012. You can view the new tariffs here.
Major components of the hike
- The subsidy that was provided to low tension customers for the consumption portion below 500 units has been removed.
- The subsidy for the other categories of domestic consumers has been retained. For example, those consuming up to 100 units bimonthly will get a subsidy of Rs. 1.50 per unit for all 100 units
- The hike in the tariff ranges between 75 per cent and 110 per cent for consumers consuming more than 500 units (over 2 months)
- The four-tier slab system for domestic consumers would replace the five-tier slab system. Please check the slabs in the tariff document.
