The TGERC has finalised a recovery mechanism to collect Rs 5,420.23 crore from non-agricultural power consumers through DISCOMs starting November 2026. The true-up charges will be levied at 30 paise per unit in the first month and 50 paise per unit in subsequent months.

TGSPDCL CMD Musharraf Faruqui issued a statement appealing to consumers not to believe fraudulent calls or messages on electricity bill payment

The alert highlighted the potential danger posed by electric wires that may fall to the ground due to gusty winds. TSSPDCL urged individuals not to touch any electric wires that are on the ground.

At present, a large number of power distribution utilities (discoms) across the country are state-owned.
