Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has allowed a hike in Power Purchase Adjustment Cost (PPAC).

At the same time, rates in areas that receive electricity from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) are expected to rise by 2 per cent.
The order related to rates are to be enforced retrospectively from 10 June and they will remain in place till 31 August.

Apart from that, the shortage of coal and consistent rise in its prices are among the reasons for rate hike by the DERC.
