<p>While BEST decides to withdraw TDLR imposed on power bills in the island city to recover losses, reducing individual bills by 26%, RInfra proposes tariff hike per unit in the suburbs</p>

As Shiv Sena, BJP and Congress are bickering amongst themselves to take credit for pressurising the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) into revoking Transport Deficit Loss Recovery (TDLR) from the electricity bills of the island city residents, 29 lakh Mumbaikars from the western suburbs (Bandra to Bhayandar) are likely to pay through their noses if the proposed tariff hike by RInfra comes into effect. Upon implementation, the overall hike in bills for RInfra customers will be anywhere between two to five per cent for the next three years.
