The fuel surcharge of the month of January, which is Rs 78.99 crore, will be charged from consumers through electricity bills of April. The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission has empowered distribution companies under the Multi -Year Tariff Regulation 2025 through the fee known as fuel and power purchase adjustment overload (FPPAS) on a monthly basis.
Electricity bills are going to increase this month for the residents of Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has increased fuel overload for the first time in about five years. Consumers will now have to pay an additional 1.24% on April electricity bills. With the implementation of revised fuel surcharge, now the electricity bill will also have monthly fluctuations like petrol and diesel prices. Simply put, your electricity bill will vary depending on your use. For example, if your bill was Rs 1,000 in March, now you have to pay an additional Rs 12.40 as fuel surcharge.

This is the first time such a system is being implemented in the state.
The Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Consumer Council has resolved to oppose the surcharge as unfair. Council President Awadhesh Verma said that UPPCL still owes Rs 33,122 crore to consumers and instead of settling it, he has decided to increase the bills. He said that this increase from the back door is unacceptable and we will oppose it.
