The TNEB has submitted petition to that effect to the Tamilnadu Electricity Regulatory Commission. The petition submitted on 18th January has admitted by the commission. However the consumers of 101 to 200 units range are being spared; there will be no change in the tariff of Rs 2.60 per unit. For other consumers the increase will be in the range of  10 to 12 percent. The proposed tariff revision is to net add on revenue to the board to the extent of Rs 1,000 crore for 2010-2011.The commission will interact with the public before deciding on the petition.
