As per the Order is noticed by the colleague industries that abnormal hike in their electricity bill for the month of June 2019. As you are aware that, Hon’ble Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission announced the new tariff order on 20/05/2019 which was effective from 1st June of 2019. The tariff order was silent over extension of regulatory surcharge for the month April & May 2019.
