What Happened

Karnataka's electricity regulator approved a 56 paise per unit adjustment mechanism Friday, enabling BESCOM to recover ₹2,068.38 crore revenue gap from 2024-25 consumption. The true-up exercise, distinct from tariff hikes, will increase monthly bills from May 2026, compensating for previous under-recovery costs incurred by the utility company.
