AAECA Opposes APDCL’s Three-Tier Electricity Tariff Proposal

The All Assam Electricity Consumers Association (AAECA) has strongly opposed APDCL’s proposal for a three-tier electricity pricing system. Calling it “anti-people,” the association submitted a memorandum to the Assam Electricity Regulatory Commission (AERC) and district officials, demanding its rejection. AAECA argued that electricity is an essential service and should not have demand-based pricing, warning that the policy would financially burden consumers. It also accused APDCL of indirectly increasing costs and urged AERC to dismiss the proposal.
