Hyderabad: Several Industrial bodies of Andhra Pradesh have opposed power tariff hike for industrial and manufacturing sectors stating that it would be not fair in the absence of specific incentives for them, either from the Centre or the state.
They have also expressed concern that attempts are being made to burden them for giving relief to domestic consumers. In a detailed submission to the APERC, the FAPTCI said the power utilities have projected an average procurement price of RS 6.10 from the power exchanges and open market.
“We petitioned two years back to make it Rs 5.06 per kWh. The rates have crashed in 2013 in open market and power exchanges. So, we request you to make the maximum ceiling to be fixed at or below Rs 5.06 unit” the FAPTSI said.
