PRESS NOTE

RETAIL ELECTRICITY TARIFF OF MAHARASHTRA STATE ELECTRICITY

DISTRIBUTION CO. LTD FROM FY 2025-26 TO FY 2029-30
(APPLICABLE FROM 1 APRIL, 2025)

Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL) is a Distribution Licensee

catering to large consumer base of around 3.16 crore consumers across Maharashtra, including
some areas in Mumbai. In compliance of MERC (Multi-Year Tariff) Regulations, 2024, the
Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC or Commission) admitted
MSEDCL’s MYT Petition for approval of true-up for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24, provisional
truing-up for FY 2024-25, and MYT projections for FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 on 22
January, 2025.

As directed by the Commission, MSEDCL invited written suggestions and objections on the
Petition from the public, and also held Public Hearings at Navi Mumbai, Pune, Nashik,
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Amaravati and Nagpur from 25 February 2025 to 04 March
2025.

Upon public consultation process, the Commission has approved the Annual Revenue
Requirement (ARR) and determined the Tariff of MSEDCL for the next five years of 5 th
Control Period commencing from FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 through its Order dated 28
March, 2025. The revised tariffs are effective from 1 April 2025. The Commission has tried
to strike a balance between consumer interest and the recovery of legitimate expenses of
distribution licensee.

The salient features of the Commission’s Order are as under:

A. Approval for Revenue Gap / (Surplus) :

1. For the true-up of past period and projections during MYT period, the Commission has
approved the revenue surplus of Rs. 44,480 Cr as against the MSEDCL’s projections of
revenue gap of Rs. 48,066 Cr.

2. Main reasons for contributions towards the variation in revenue gap for the past Period is
higher actual distribution loss level (22%) than the target of (14%) and difference in
allowed capitalization and depreciation as per regulatory norms. Other factors
contributing towards variation in costs for past period vis-à-vis MTR Order that are
allowed include viz. (a) increase in fuel cost due to variations on account of imported
fuel costs and due to guidelines to blend imported coal with domestic coal for thermal
generating stations, (b) impact of claims due to change in law and taxes and duties by
independent power producers to be recovered pursuant to judgments of various
authorities, (c) shortfall in availability of renewable power due to delays in
commissioning of projects.

3. Further, key reasons for contribution towards the revenue surplus for 5 th Control Period
are (a) Savings in projected Power Purchase cost, (b) Significant reduction in excess
Energy quantum requirement and purchase thereof as projected by MSEDCL which is
not optimal and not entirely aligned with Resource Adequacy (RA) framework (c)
Modification in the sales projections including that of agriculture sales based on Feeder
input based methodology (d) Savings in projected O&M expenses in line with regulatory
norms, (e) Lower approval of capex & capitalization and associated expenses thereof in
line with Capex guidelines and regulatory norms, (f) Savings in transmission system costs
and transmission charges thereof.

4. The Sales forecasts for MYT period approved by the Commission are lower by around
50 Billion Units (BU) (around 6%) than that projected by MSEDCL on account of errors
observed in MSEDCL forecasts on baseline assumptions and escalation factors as well as
variation in agriculture sales consumption based on AG Index approved by the
Commission.

Page | 2
5. The Commission has observed that actual distribution loss (22%) for past period (true-
up) is higher than target (14%). For MYT period, the Commission has stipulated
Distribution loss reduction trajectory from 17% (FY 2025-26) to 11% (FY 2029-30) over
the MYT period. Loss reduction trajectory is aligned with committed loss trajectory under
RDSS framework to avail benefits under Central Schemes.

6. MSEDCL’s projection of Contracted Capacity and Firm Capacity (adjusted for Capacity
Credit factor for renewable energy and other sources) far exceeds RA requirement and its
forecasted Peak Demand. RA planning exercise indicates excess/ annual surplus quantum
up to 116 BU (around 10% of total projected power purchase quantum) over control
period, out of which only 50% (66 BU) is projected to be sold (mainly during solar hours)
at Rs 3/unit, at a cost lower than Average Power Purchase Cost (APPC), resulting in sub-
optimal power purchase planning.

7. The Commission has undertaken detailed evaluation of hourly load profile of demand,
hourly generation profile of non-firm generating sources (such as wind, solar, hydro,
nuclear, biomass/bagasse, hybrid, FDRE, storage) and estimated Net Load requirement
to be met through contracted (existing and planned) thermal generating resources
following hourly dispatch simulations based on merit Order dispatch principles as per
MERC State Grid Code.

8. Thus, RA based power purchase planning has been optimized resulting in lower quantum
of Power Purchase projections by 173 BU (around 15% of total projected power purchase
quantum) vis-à-vis MSEDCL’s projections. Projections of Power Purchase quantum are
based on bottom-up approach (i.e. sale forecast, grossed up for distribution loss trajectory
and merit order based hourly dispatch modelling considering RE projections compliant
with Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) trajectory) in line with RA Regulations and
CEA guidelines. This results in projected reduction in power purchase cost of around Rs
80,067 Crore (around 14%) than that projected by MSEDCL over five-year MYT period.

B. Overall reduction in Tariff:

4. With projected revenue surplus of Rs. 44,481 Crore and corresponding reduction in
overall average cost of supply, the Commission has approved tariff reduction of 10%
in FY 2025-26 and cumulative reduction of 16% by FY 2029-30 vis-à-vis existing tariff
(incl. FAC), as against MSEDCL’s claim for 0% revision in FY 2025-26 and reduction
of 3.6% by FY 2029-30.

5. Following table summarizes the Commission’s Approved Average Cost of Supply

(ACoS) v/s MSEDCL’s submission of ACoS.

C. Separation of AG & Non-AG Supply:

5. MSEDCL has proposed to form separate Agriculture supply company and mentioned that
it will initiate preparatory actions so that segregation will be effective on or before 01
April 2028. The Commission has appreciated such step of MSEDCL which is as per
earlier Order of the Commission.

6. To segregate Cost of Supply to AG consumers and Non-AG consumers, the Commission

has adopted a rational approach with realistic estimation of allocation of power purchase
costs, sharing of network costs, and distribution loss considering regulatory principles to
ensure non-discriminatory principles as per Section 62 of EA 2003.

7. Consumer category-wise Tariff design and reduction in cross-subsidy is aligned with

segregated ACoS for AG and Non-AG consumers, separately, as outlined below:
Average Cost of Supply (Rs./unit) for AG Supply and Non-AG Supply Company

D. Revision in Tariff Rates and Rationalisation of Cross-subsidy

8. The Commission has approved overall reduction in Tariff across most of the consumer
categories except subsidized categories like Agriculture (LT and HT) and LT PWW,
wherein increase in Tariff is proposed to match Average Cost of Supply, progressively.

9. The Commission has tried to keep the cross subsidy of all the consumer category + 20%
slab as per the Electricity (Amendment) Rules, 2022 notified by Ministry of Power on 29

Page | 4
 December, 2022.

10. Additionally, the Commission has implemented a marginal increase in fixed charges
across all consumer categories to ensure a slight improvement in revenue recovery from
fixed charges. However, recovery from Fixed/Demand Charges is around 20% of total
revenue. With higher reduction in energy charge, impact of such marginal increase in
fixed charges is negated.

11. Summary table for consumer category-wise projected Average Billing Rate (ABR) for
MYT Period (FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30) is presented in Annexure-1 and Cross-subsidy
reduction trajectory is presented in Annexure-2.

11.1. Industrial:

11.1.1. The Commission has reduced the Cross Subsidy for HT-Industry from
existing level of 113% to 101% and for LT-Industry from existing level of
108% to 100% to match with ACoS over the period. With reduction in Tariff
approved in this Order, the overall average price of electricity for HT-Industry
would reduce by around (-15%), whereas in the case of LT-Industry the average
price of electricity would reduce by around (-11%) for FY 2025-26. Thereafter,
by end of 5th Control Period , the Tariff for HT-Industry will further reduce at
annualized rate of (-4%) and that of LT-Industry will further reduce at
annualized rate of (-3%).

11.1.2. The Commission has allowed continuation of several other incentives/discounts

in the form of Load Factor Incentive, Incremental consumption Rebate, Bulk
Supply Rebate (revised), ToD Rebate (revised ToD slabs and tariff), prompt
payment rebate, which would enable industries to further reduce their cost of
power.

11.1.3. In addition, the Commission has not allowed levy of any Grid Support Charges
for Rooftop installations, levy of Additional Surcharge for open access
transactions and allowed continuation of benefit of banking concept except
during Evening Peak hours (17:00 hrs to mid-night). This would facilitate
industry to harness renewable energy through conducive green energy open
access regime.

11.1.4. Further, the Commission has categorized high priority industries such as Data
Centers and Semi-conductor units under Industrial category, which can
avail all the above benefits to reduce their power purchase cost. Further, to
encourage their electricity consumption through 100% Green Energy either

Page | 5
 through open access or through Green Tariff or combination thereof, the
Commission has approved discount of 10% in Wheeling Charges to such Data
Centers and semi-conductor units. This will attract more and more Data
Centers and Semi-conductor units in Maharashtra.

11.1.5. To promote tourism in the state, the Commission has included

Hotels/Resorts/Guest House with Lodging facility under Industrial Tariff
Category, where the Tariff Rates are in anyways reduced significantly. This
will result in significant reduction in power bills for Hotels/Resorts/Guest
Houses which were earlier covered under Commercial category. This is
expected to spur growth of Tourism industry in the State. In addition, the
Commission has stipulated zones whereby further discounts in energy charges
is provided. Discount in Energy charges of 25 Paise/unit (for B-Zone), 50
Paise/unit (for C-Zone) and 75 Paise/unit (for D-Zone) is applicable based on
the city in which Hotel is located.

11.1.6. Lower tariff benefit for Powerloom Consumers: The Commission has
continued the lower tariff (discount/rebate) of (2.5%) in Energy Charge for
Powerloom as against approved Energy Charge under LT-Industry. In addition,
the power loom consumers would be able to avail benefit of incremental
consumption rebate of Rs 0.75/kWh introduced for specified LT categories.

11.2. Commercial:

11.2.1. In the case of HT-Commercial Category, the Cross Subsidy is reduced from
existing level of 174% to 127% and for LT-Commercial category, it is
reduced from 151% to 130% during FY 2025-26. The Tariff for HT-
Commercial category would reduce by around (-30%) during FY2025-26 and
for LT Commercial category, the Tariff would reduce by around (-20%). The
Tariff for the Commercial category is still above the ACoS.

11.2.2. The Commission has continued the concept of incremental consumption

rebate at the rate of Rs 0.75/kWh to be specified LT categories also, which will
reduce overall expenses towards electricity for consumers in LT-Industry and
LT-Commercial categories. Such an incremental consumption rebate would also
be available for LT-Public Service consumers.

11.3. Residential

11.3.1. Overall reduction in Tariffs for all residential consumers across the slabs is in
the range of 10-12%. The reduction in Tariff for residential consumers with

Page | 6
 consumption slab (1-100 units) would be around 24% by FY 2029-30.
Further, the Commission has enabled ToD Rebate of Rs 0.80 to 1.00/kWh for
residential consumers for consumption during Solar Hours (9 am to 5 pm).

11.4. Public Service

11.4.1. In the process of rationalization of sub-categories/ tariff slabs, the Commission

has merged the Public Service (Government) applicable for educational
institutions & hospital and Public Service (Others) to form single category with
uniform Tariff (Fixed Charge and Energy Charge) at both voltages (HT and LT).

11.5. Electric Vehicles

11.5.1. The Commission has introduced only Single part Tariff for the EV category
(HT and LT) and has done away with levy of Fixed/Demand Charges in line
with MoP Guidelines. Further, in order to promote use of E-vehicles, the Tariff
for EV is kept marginally lower than ACoS with applicability of ToD benefits
to same. With removal of Fixed/Demand Charges, the Tariff for EVs would
reduce by 8-10% from Existing Tariff level.

11.6. Agriculture

11.6.1. Tariff for Agriculture consumers is subsidized with ratio of ABR to ACoS of
only 57%. With solarization of Agriculture feeders, the cost of supply to deliver
power to agriculture is expected to reduce over period. The Commission has
designed Tariff for Agriculture segment in such manner so as to gradually match
Tariff for agriculture with AG-ACoS with graded increase over period. Even
then, the ratio of ABR to ACoS (composite) reaches from 57% to 75% over
the period. However, this results in increase in Tariff for Agriculture during first
year. Tariff for AG is projected to reduce over the period with proliferation of
distributed Solar.

11.6.2. To promote rural economy the commission has included milk collection center
with fist stage chilling facility and Khawa manufacturing units under
Agriculture Category. Similarly, Mushroom cultivation has been included in
Agriculture tariff category. Agro tourism units has been included in Agriculture
(others) category.

E. Redesigning of Time-of-Day (ToD) Slabs and ToD Tariff (Charge/Rebate)

12. The Commission has redesigned Time-of-Day Slabs and ToD Tariff (Charge/ Rebate) to
incentivize shift in consumption to Solar Hours (9 am to 5 pm).

Hours (17.00 hrs to 24.00 hrs) and for other categories (except Residential, Group Housing &
Agriculture) +20% ToD charges are proposed during Peak Hours.

F. Other Clarifications regarding Banking & Net Metering for Rooftop/Open Access

13. With the revised ToD Tariff as approved by the Commission, it is clarified that the
residential consumers having Rooftop Solar system will continue to benefit under Net
Metering/Group Metering/Virtual Metering upon installation of ToD Meter/Smart meter.
There will be no restriction for adjustment of banked energy for Residential consumer
during any hours of the day. Also, net consumption after adjusting solar energy will be
billed as per normal telescopic tariff.

14. Other consumers (other than residential consumers) the benefit under Net Metering and
Group Net Metering shall continue to be available as per provisions of Regulations.
Banked energy can be utilized in all hours except peak hours (17:00 hrs to 24:00 hrs).

15. Open Access consumers will be able to utilize banked energy in all hours except peak
hours (17.00 hrs to 24.00 hrs).

G. Other Provisions:

16. The Commission has approved the kVAh billing for LT consumers having load more than
20kW.

17. The comparison of existing and revised category-wise Tariffs for FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-
