Delhi Power Update: DERC Trims BRPL’s Cost Recovery Claim

The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has officially finalized the Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charge (PPAC) for BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) for the first quarter of FY 2025-26.

The regulator isn't just rubber-stamping utility claims anymore.

The Numbers

Utility Claim: 8.08%

DERC Approved: 6.73%

The Difference: A 135-basis-point reduction in the immediate burden on consumers.

Why the haircut?

In its final order issued on December 17, 2025, the DERC conducted a detailed "prudence check" of power purchase and transmission costs. While BRPL cited rising market costs and proposed alternative methodologies to justify a higher levy, the Commission stuck to the script.

The DERC made it clear that PPAC computation is strictly limited to three pillars under Regulation 134 (2017) and Regulation 30 (2023):

Fixed Charges

Energy Charges

Transmission Charges

Anything falling outside these categories was explicitly tossed out.

What this means for Delhi

For the average consumer, this decision tempers tariff volatility during the winter billing cycle. For the utility, it provides short-term cash flow stability (the rate is approved through February 8, 2026) but signals that the "automatic" nature of cost pass-throughs is being replaced by much tighter regulatory oversight.

The Fine Print

This isn't a final "yes" to the costs. The DERC has reiterated that all underlying expenses will undergo a final prudence check during the annual true-up of FY 2025-26. If the costs aren't found reasonable or compliant, they won’t make the final cut.

The Big Picture: Sector watchers note that this ruling reinforces a conservative shift at the DERC. It’s a signal to all Delhi distribution utilities: Expect your petitions to be scrutinized under a microscope.

Brightening Delhi's Future: BSES' Solar Rooftop Plan

Powering the Future: How BSES is Leading Delhi's Solar Revolution

Anil Ambani's BSES, a leading power distribution company in Delhi, is illuminating the path towards a greener future. Supplying electricity to over 50 lakh consumers and catering to a population of 2 crore across South, West, East, and Central Delhi, BSES is actively promoting rooftop solar power installations.

This commitment to environmental sustainability is yielding impressive results. BSES has already established a record-breaking 6,000 rooftop solar plants in the capital, generating a significant 160 Megawatt of clean power.  With an ambitious target of adding 1,000 more connections this year, BSES is propelling Delhi towards becoming the solar capital of India.

The response to the BSES rooftop solar net metering program has been phenomenal. Residents, educational institutions, and commercial establishments have all embraced this revolutionary technology.  Intriguingly, data reveals a fascinating trend.  Out of the 6,000 rooftop connections, a staggering 3,650 belong to the domestic segment, showcasing a strong individual commitment to environmental responsibility.  Additionally, 1087 commercial establishments, 939 educational institutions, and over 100 government housing societies have joined the movement, highlighting the widespread adoption of solar power across various sectors.

The real game-changer? Significant cost savings. By opting for rooftop solar, these 6,000 consumers are collectively saving a remarkable Rs. 110 crore annually on their electricity bills.  This translates to a win-win situation for both consumers and BSES. 

The BSES initiative is not just about generating clean energy; it's about empowering Delhi's residents and businesses to take control of their energy consumption and contribute to a greener future.  With its ambitious goals and impressive track record, BSES is undoubtedly leading the charge in Delhi's solar revolution.  As the program continues to expand, Delhi can truly claim its rightful place as the solar capital of India, fueled by a collective effort driven by responsible businesses and environmentally conscious citizens.

BSES to install 5 mn smart meters across Delhi in country's largest rollout

Reliance Infrastructure’s BSES Limited, a power distribution company (discom) in the national capital region, will install five million smart meters in its designated areas, making it the largest rollout across the country. The company has issued a tender worth Rs 4,000 crore to procure smart meters.

BSES owns and operates two discoms –- BSES Rajdhani Limited and BSES Yamuna Limited, across south, west and east Delhi. The smart meters rollout will start with high-consumption areas and consumers, said executives.

The company aims to commence the rollout by October this year and conclude it by March 2025. Currently five states have a large-scale smart meter installation programme ongoing. Uttar Pradesh has installed 1.16 million meters, Bihar 870,000, Rajasthan 550,000, Haryana 452,000 and Assam 283,000.

A smart meter has a modem (communication device) and a remote switch by which demand, supply and billing can be monitored and controlled remotely. Data from the device is collected in a cloud server. This reduces energy theft, improves billing and bill collection, and helps discoms collect data of consumer demand patterns, which in turn, can be used to plan supply.

HC agrees to hear Tata Power on electricity transfer to Haryana from Delhi

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday agreed to hear Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd in connection with BSES Rajdhani Power Limited's challenge to an order of the Ministry of Power on the transfer of power generated by a Dadri thermal station from the national capital to Haryana.

Justice Yashwant Varma permitted Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd, which distributes electricity in the northern area of the city, to intervene in the ongoing proceedings before it.

The applicant is permitted to intervene and address submissions, the court said.

Counsel appearing for the applicant said that it was equally affected by the decision and that out of the total allocation, its share is 10 megawatts and thus has submissions to make.

The high court, on March 30, had stayed the Centre's order on the transfer of power supply from the Dadri-II thermal station to Haryana.

On April 1, it extended the stay till April 29 and granted time to the Centre to respond to the petition.

The Centre had then said this is not the first time that such reallocation has been done and it was done earlier also.

The petitioner discom has claimed that the order is completely without jurisdiction and if implemented, 23 per cent of the populace of the national capital would be deprived of power in the next 24 hours.
