Lucknow ( Raghwendra Pratap Singh) <\/strong>: Electricity consumers in Uttar Pradesh will have to pay a 10% fuel surcharge on their June power bills following an order issued by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL). The surcharge is being recovered against the Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) for March 2026 and will be applicable across consumer categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPPCL, in its order issued on May 29, stated that the surcharge has been calculated in accordance with the provisions approved by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to criticism, UPPCL said it did not amount to a tariff hike, noting that electricity tariffs in Uttar Pradesh had remained unchanged for nearly six years. \u201cFPPPA is a temporary, regulator-approved adjustment linked to actual power purchase costs and can even turn negative, as it did in March 2026,\u201d a UPPCL spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reacting to the move, the Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Upbhokta Parishad termed the surcharge an additional burden on consumers already struggling with rising prices and erratic power supply during the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
