The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission reviewed petitions from UHBVNL and DHBVNL seeking an additional surcharge for open-access electricity in H2 FY 2023-24. The DISCOMs argued the surcharge, increasing from ₹0.53 to ₹0.82 per kWh, was needed due to stranded power costs. The Commission dismissed the petitions for outdated data, instructing new submissions for accuracy and fairness.
