Lucknow, June 1 -- The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has imposed a 10 per cent Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) on electricity consumers across the state for the month of June, which is expected to recover approximately Rs 1,610 crore from households and businesses.

According to a UPPCL order issued on Friday, the surcharge is based on fuel and power purchase costs incurred in March 2026. While the calculated FPPAS for that month stood at 20.61 per cent, the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) caps the monthly recoverable surcharge at 10 per cent. The remaining amount is likely to be carried forward and adjusted in subsequent months' bills.
