There is also a need to introduce differential tariffs at the district level. All the districts in a particular State are not equal in terms of their average domestic power consumption. For example, in Maharashtra, the coastal districts are ahead of their western, northern, central and eastern counterparts in this context. For the State as a whole, its average household power consumption is 69 units a month. However, in Mumbai, it is 144 units a month followed by Thane’s 120 units. But Gondiya district in eastern Maharashtra stands at the bottom, with the State’s lowest household power consumption of 41 units a month. Therefore, it is unfair to equate Gondiya and Mumbai while determining domestic power tariff.
