Delhi power bills to include monthly PPAC charge
NDTV Profit··13 Jun
NDTV Profit reported that DERC allowed Delhi's three power distribution companies to recover Power Purchase Adjustment Charge for April 2026. This is the first time Delhi's PPAC levy will be imposed monthly rather than quarterly.

What It Means For You
- If you are within Delhi's subsidised consumption slabs, the PPAC should not add to your payable bill.
- Higher-consumption users may see April bills rise due to power purchase cost adjustments.
- Monthly PPAC means electricity cost changes can appear in bills faster than before.
What's Happening
- DERC approved PPAC recovery for BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL.
- The approved rates are lower than what discoms sought.
- Unrecovered monthly costs can be adjusted in later bills.
PPAC Basics
- PPAC lets discoms recover fuel and power procurement cost changes.
- Quarterly recovery can create lag and accumulated cost pressure.
- Subsidy design determines which consumers actually pay the extra charge.
