MERC issued a corrigendum correcting category-definition wording and cross-references in BEST's MYT Order dated 30 March 2020, without altering approved tariffs or ARR.
Case of Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking for Truing up of Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) for FY 2017-18 & FY 2018-19, Provisional Truing up of ARR for FY 2019-20 and ARR & Tariff for the 4th Control Period from FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25
MERC had approved BEST's truing up of ARR for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19, provisional truing up for FY 2019-20, and ARR & Tariff for the 4th Control Period (FY 2020-21 to FY 2024-25) vide Order dated 30 March 2020. This corrigendum was issued to correct clerical/drafting errors in the applicability clauses of certain LT and HT tariff categories and in the HT IV Railways/Metro/Monorail tariff schedule, as identified after the original order was issued.
- Corrected Note under LT I(B) Residential to extend applicability to HV-supplied consumers under purposes (a)-(h) 'and (k) & (l) below', not just (a)-(h).
- Amended LT III Industrial point (g): cross-reference changed from 'LT-Public Water Works category' to 'LT-Public Services category' for STP/CETP applicability.
- Deleted point (l) 'Waste processing units not covered under LT IV category' from LT IV(B) Public Service Others applicability.
- Removed 'Laundries' from the list of businesses under LT II Non-Residential/Commercial point (f).
- Removed 'Laundries' from the equivalent list under HT II Commercial point (f).
- Corrected the HT IV Railways/Metro/Monorail tariff tables for the periods 1 April 2023-31 March 2024 and 1 April 2024-31 March 2025 (specific corrected values not reproduced in text).
- BEST and consumers to read the amended applicability clauses (LT I(B), LT III, LT IV(B), LT II, HT II) as corrected with immediate effect.
- Consumers under HT IV Railways/Metro/Monorail category to apply the corrected tariff figures for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 billing periods.
- Laundries, having been removed from LT II/HT II Commercial category, need to confirm correct applicable tariff category under the main MYT Order.
- BEST to update tariff schedules/billing systems to reflect corrected category definitions and HT IV tariffs.
- No further amendments indicated; corrigendum is limited to the six specific corrections listed.
- • C&I consumers classified under LT II/HT II Commercial or LT III Industrial should re-check their category applicability, as cross-references and inclusions (e.g., Laundries, STP/CETP) have changed.
- • Waste processing units are no longer explicitly covered under LT IV(B) Public Service Others, requiring affected consumers to verify correct categorization and applicable tariff.
- • HT IV Railways/Metro/Monorail consumers (large infrastructure/transit developers) must use the revised tariff figures for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 for cost planning.
- • This is a clarificatory/technical correction only - no change to overall ARR, tariff quantum, open access charges, or RE/storage provisions from the original 30 March 2020 MYT Order.
This corrigendum is purely administrative, tidying up category definitions and a tariff table in BEST's already-approved MYT Order. C&I buyers and developers dealing with BEST supply should not expect any tariff quantum change, but should immediately verify their consumer category classification (especially Commercial, Industrial, and Public Services categories) against the corrected wordings to avoid billing disputes, and confirm HT IV figures if operating railway/metro-linked facilities.
