The Commission gave no tariff hike for FY 2026-27 because the discoms have an accumulated surplus. The rate payable by a home is the same as in FY 2025-26 (urban 5.50, 5.50, 6.00, 6.50 a unit with Rs 110/kW fixed; lifeline 3.00 a unit). The order says tariffs apply seven days after newspaper publication; the publication date is not stated, so the order date is used.
