New Delhi, July 14 -- The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has allowed the Capital's power distribution companies (discoms) to levy Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) charges after a sharp rise in power procurement costs in May 2026, officials said on Monday. Officials, however, said the move will not impact electricity bills for consumers. In an order dated July 10, the DERC granted relaxation under its tariff regulations to BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL), BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (TPDDL). The move allows the discoms to recover a larger portion of their additional power purchase costs beyond the10 per cent cap on FPPAS in a billing cycle. htc
