The Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission (TERC) on Monday released the electricity tariff for the financial year 2025–26, assuring that energy charges for ordinary consumers will remain unchanged. The new tariff structure, effective from November 1, 2025, includes several pro-poor and inclusive measures aimed at reducing the financial burden on low-income families and improving access in remote regions.
TERC confirmed that the rate per unit for household consumers will stay the same, ensuring monthly bills do not rise despite economic pressures. A major benefit has been extended to Kutir Jyoti scheme beneficiaries, with the permitted connected load raised from 120 watts to 500 watts and the monthly consumption limit doubled from 15 to 30 units. This will allow poor households to use essential appliances without additional cost.
The commission has also revised the fixed charge system, which will now be based on connected load (kW) rather than a flat per-connection rate. This change aims to make the billing structure more transparent and equitable.
To support development in far-flung areas, TERC introduced a 10% rebate for hospitals, homestays, women-led business units and mobile towers operating in remote locations. Additionally, consumers can opt for green power at an extra charge of 75 paise per unit, encouraging participation in renewable energy adoption.
