Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission Bangalore

The document is a notification from the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission amending regulations regarding the recovery of expenses for electricity supply. Specifically, it amends an existing note to clarify how built-up area should be calculated when determining connection costs for multiple buildings. The amendment adds that if buildings have separate land ownership documents, entrances, and passages despite sharing walls or a roof, they do not need to have their areas combined for cost calculations and can be treated separately for power supply arrangements. Public comments on the proposed amendment were sought and considered before the final regulations were issued.
