The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has increased the tariff for the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) consumers between 1.4 per cent and 3.8 per cent, thanks to the BEST's PPA agreement with Tata Power.
The MERC on Thursday hiked the tariff for the Reliance Infrastructure consumers by 10 per cent. The company supplies power to suburban Mumbai.
The hike for Reliance Infra consumers consuming more than 300 units per month will be only around 4 per cent.
Commercial establishments such as restaurants, shops and offices will have to bear a moderate hike of 3.8 per cent.
However, coming down heavily on illuminated hoardings, MERC hiked tariff for this category by 22 percent.
