With CERC Draft Regulations for the control period 2014-19 already rolled in and public hearing conducted the final regulations are expected to be in light by March, 2014. The draft regulations if found implemented, without any modification/relaxation can lower the power tariffs existing in the country. The calculations and estimations reveal that the proposed regulations may bring down the burden of tariff by a quantum of 5-6% on the consumers. This would mean a marginal relief to consumers but it would constrain the revenues of both Private and Government generation companies in India, viz. NTPC, NHPC, Tata Power and Lanco etc.
