Lucknow, Oct 28 (HS): Under the Yogi Adityanath government,

Uttar Pradesh electricity consumers are set to receive significant relief in

their November 2026 electricity bills. Consumers will receive 9.17 percent

relief under the Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPAAS). This

will reduce applicable electricity charges in November's electricity bills and

directly benefit domestic, commercial, and other consumers. This is the fifth consecutive

month in which consumers are receiving relief through negative FPAAS.

Relief in electricity bill for the fifth consecutive month: According

to the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL), consumers received

relief of 4.43 percent in July, 2.92 percent in August, 7.93 percent in

September, and 5.24 percent in October. This relief has now increased to 9.17

percent in November. This will provide consumers with five consecutive months

of electricity bill relief.

Under the FPAAS system, when the actual cost of power

purchase and fuel is lower than the tariff, the benefit is passed on to

consumers in the form of a reduction in their electricity bills. This reduction

is the result of better management of power purchase costs. UPPCL is passing this

benefit directly to consumers.

This relief comes at a time when UPPCL is continuously

striving to improve consumer services and ensure reliable and quality power

supply in the state. The FPAAS relief provided for five consecutive months

reflects UPPCL's commitment to consumer interests, transparent billing, and

efficient power procurement.
