In October, electricity consumers in Uttar Pradesh are set to receive a 5.24% relief in their bills, benefiting around ₹424 crore, according to the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL). The reduction comes as the state government continues its focus on prioritising consumer interests under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's leadership.
The Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) rate for October has been set at a negative 5.24%, which will be credited to consumers' bills. This is the fourth consecutive month of relief for electricity consumers, with relief measures previously provided in July (4.43%), August (2.92%), and September (7.93%). The UPPCL is working to make the power supply system more transparent and consumer-centric, while also adjusting for favourable changes in power purchase costs directly in the bills.
