However, revised rates would not be applicable to Kutir Jyoti (BPL) and agricultural consumers.
While approving average cost of supply as 524.62 paise for FY 2020-21, OERC has fixed 270 paise per unit up to 50 units, 450 paise/unit for consumption above 50 units and up to 200 units, 550 paise/unit for the consumption above 200 units and up to 400 units and 590 paise/unit for consumption above 400 units for domestic category.
