They claim power company wants to ‘rub salt on the wounds of the people’
The proposed power tariff hike was opposed by several stakeholders during a public hearing conducted by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) in Dharwad on Monday.
In the hearing, chaired by chairman of KERC Shambu Dayal Meena, the stakeholders, including representatives of consumers’ forums, industrialists, and businessmen, vehemently opposed the proposed hike of 0.73 paise per unit sought by Hubballi Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM).

However, the KERC decided to conduct an independent study through a consultant to decide about Mescom’s demand.
At a public hearing held by KERC at the deputy commissioner’s office in Mangaluru on Friday, the Mescom officials said the company will have to hike tariff by Rs 1.67 per unit to plug the revenue gap of Rs 943 crore projected for the year 2021-22.
The company has presented before the commission that the steep increase in power purchase cost has forced it to propose a hike in tariff. However, the majority of organizations, including Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) and consumers objected to the company’s demand. Mescom has a 24.88 lakh consumer base in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru and it expects to sell 5,658 million units of power in 2021-22.
