At the ERC public hearing held at the Co-operative Electric Supply Society (CESS) in Sircilla on Friday, Rama Rao called the proposals unreasonable. He emphasized that electricity should be seen not just as a commodity but as a critical force for the State’s economic growth and social welfare. Criticizing the proposed increase in fixed charges from Rs 10 to Rs 50 per MW for households using over 300 units, he highlighted the burden it would place on families.
