Hyderabad: Here is another reason to fume and rage, for all the ordinary power consumers in the State harried by the extraordinary surcharges in their power bills.
While bus stations and railway stations serving the poor and middle income groups in the State are taxed heavily under the ‘Commercial’ category of power consumption, the airports here enjoy the privilege of reduced tariff under a recently created category ‘Aviation Activity at Airports’.
The AP Central Power Distribution Company, which does not budge from charging even the Surabhi Theatre Group for the “commercial” consumption despite repeated appeals from the latter, is now forced to reduce the tariff for the aviation-related consumption of all the airports in the State by Rs.0.56 per unit.
Before the recent tariff revision, airports too were paying under the HT-II (Others) category for which the present energy charges are Rs.5.10 per unit at 132-KV supply, Rs.5.35 per unit at 33-KV supply and Rs.5.97 per unit at 11-KV supply.
