However, the commission agreed to a total hike of Rs 816 crore only during themeeting. They did that only for those consumers that are utilizing more than 200 units per month. Don't know how the people will react to this.

This category comprises about 80 lakh of the total 88 lakh domestic consumers in the state. Similarly, there would be no increase in tariff for agriculture and cottage industries and small non-domestic consumers, who utilize up to 50 units a month.

Yes. The government has come up with a plan that would make the residents of the state of telangana pay up more for power charges. I think the ople will have a tough time to get through this.
