7% tariff hike to support Tripura power co
TERC chairman D Radhakrishna on Saturday said the TSECL, in the tariff revision petition in June this year, projected a revenue gap of Rs 1,100.60 crore and proposed to recover the deficit through increasing tariffs, including a gap resulting from truing up and pending regulatory assets.
“If the claim of TSECL’s revenue gap is considered that roughly translates the tariff hike of around 150%, we pruned it to Rs 60 crore for which a 7% tariff hike has become inevitable,” Radhakrishna said, reports Biswendu Bhattacharjee.

Tripura to import 150 MT hilsa from Bdesh in festive season
Tripura fishmongers have received approval to import 150 metric tonnes of hilsa fish ahead of the Sharad festival. The first consignment is expected to arrive on Saturday, with 10 metric tonnes planned to be brought in weekly to meet local demand. Hilsa prices are currently high, but are expected to decrease as fishing for hilsa closes in the coming weeks. Tripura relies heavily on fish from Bangladesh during the monsoon and winter seasons. Formal trade between Tripura and Bangladesh is limited due to restrictions.
