Hyderabad, Nov. 13 -- Domestic electricity consumers in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana are facing an additional burden as power distribution companies (DISCOMs) have started collecting True-Up charges in their monthly electricity bills.

The charges are being collected based on the electricity consumption during the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24. They are adding between Rs 25 and Rs 50 to household power bills.

The additional amount will be collected through monthly electricity bills over more than two years.

The additional amount is being recovered because the actual cost of purchasing electricity was higher than the estimates made by DISCOMs.
