MERC issues corrigendum correcting tariff-category wording and deleting one fixed-charge note in AEML-D's 30 March 2020 MYT Order
Case of Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (Distribution Business) for Approval of Truing-up of FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, Provisional Truing-up for FY 2019-20 and Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) and Multi-Year Tariff (MYT) for 4th Control Period from FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25
MERC had passed a Multi-Year Tariff Order dated 30 March 2020 in Case No.325 of 2019 approving AEML-D's truing-up for FY2017-18 and FY2018-19, provisional truing-up for FY2019-20, and ARR/MYT for the 4th Control Period FY2020-21 to FY2024-25. Certain drafting errors and inconsistencies were identified in the tariff category applicability clauses and notes of that Order, necessitating this corrigendum to correct the text without altering the substantive tariff determination.
- Corrected LT I(B) Residential note: HV supply for purposes (a)-(h) and (k)&(l) qualifies for this category, replacing the earlier '(a) to (k)' reference
- Amended LT III Industrial point (g): STP/CETP not covered under 'LT – Public Services category' (previously 'LT – Public Water Works category')
- Amended HT I Industrial point (g): STP/CETP not covered under 'HT – Public Services category' (previously 'HT – PWW category')
- Deleted point (l) 'Waste processing units not covered under LT IV category' from LT IV(B) Public Service Others applicability
- Removed 'Laundries' from applicability list under LT II Non-Residential/Commercial point (f) and HT II Commercial point (f)
- Deleted Note 3 (Additional Fixed Charge of Rs.250 per 10 kW load or part thereof above 10 kW) from Tariff Table notes in Sections 6.15 to 6.19
- AEML-D to apply the corrected tariff category applicability clauses (LT I(B), LT III, HT I, LT II, HT II, LT IV(B)) going forward
- AEML-D to stop levying the deleted Rs.250/10kW additional fixed charge referenced in Sections 6.15-6.19
- Consumers and stakeholders to read the corrigendum jointly with the original 30 March 2020 MYT Order for accurate tariff classification
- • C&I consumers must re-check their tariff category classification (e.g., STP/CETP, HV-supplied residential-purpose consumers) against the corrected wording to confirm correct billing category
- • Laundries are no longer explicitly listed under LT II/HT II Commercial category (f), which may affect classification for such consumers
- • Removal of the Rs.250 per 10kW additional fixed charge note in Sections 6.15-6.19 lowers/changes fixed charge liability for consumers in those tariff tables
- • Waste processing units are no longer separately listed under LT IV(B) Public Service Others, requiring review of applicable category for such loads
This is a purely clarificatory corrigendum with no change to tariff rates, ARR, or MYT numbers—only category-applicability wording and one fixed-charge note are corrected/deleted. C&I consumers, especially STP/CETP operators, laundries, and waste-processing units, should verify their billing category against these corrected clauses to avoid misclassification, and confirm the Rs.250/10kW fixed charge is no longer being applied where the deleted note previously covered it.
