In Delhi, electricity supply is regulated or governed by Government agency known as DERC (Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission). It determines the tariff and sets standards for the electricity industry. Transmission and distribution utilities in the National Capital Territory of Delhi must comply with its rules regarding the purchase and procurement of power, as well as the prices at which such power can be purchased from generating companies, generating stations, or other sources for transmission, sale, distribution, and supply.
Supply of Electricity in Delhi done by two Private Companies namely
- TPDDL (Tata Power Distribution Limited)
- BSES (BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd & BSES Yamuna Power Ltd)

Due to rise in the power purchase adjustment cost, the price of energy in Delhi has also increased but it is still lowest in the country due to voters appeasement being done by the State Government. Delhi is able to bear the expenses as it is Capital of India and union territory too, as most of the major expenses like security (police) etc. are borne by the Central Government. But beginning in October 2022, Subsidized power in Delhi will be made accessible to only those who request for it

Why are Delhi’s Electricity Bills Suddenly So High?
Starting July 1st (2024), Delhi residents have been noticing an increase in their electricity bills due to a rise in the power purchase adjustment charge (PPAC).
What is PPAC, and Why is it Increasing?
PPAC, regulated by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), is applied as a surcharge on total energy and fixed charges. It helps discoms manage the fluctuating costs they incur while buying power, primarily influenced by volatile global fuel prices like coal. With these prices experiencing significant instability, the cost of purchasing power has risen, leading to a subsequent hike in PPAC.
How Much Has PPAC Increased?
The PPAC increase impacts all four discoms serving Delhi:
BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL),
BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL),
Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power), and
North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC).
For BRPL and Tata Power, the PPAC hike is 8.75%, while for BYPL, it is 6.15%. Factoring in these increases, the total PPAC now stands at 35.8% for BRPL, 37.8% for BYPL, 37.9% for Tata Power, and 38.8% for NDMC.
What does this mean for your Electricity Bill?
A consumer in a BRPL area, for instance, using 600 units of electricity, would experience a bill increase from roughly ₹4523 to ₹4802. Similar increases are applicable across other discoms. However, this adjustment has not affected consumers who receive a subsidy for using up to 200 units. Currently, Delhi has around 65 lakh domestic electricity consumers, with about 60% not paying for electricity during winter months (January to April) due to their consumption remaining under 200 units, which is provided free of cost.
