SC orders recovery of 50k cr deferred power tariffs in Raj
Jaipur: Discoms in Rajasthan have been deferring power tariff hikes as they became a political tool under successive govts. But these are not subsidies and need to be collected from the consumers. Currently, the discoms sit over Rs 50,000 crore of such deferred tariffs. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court directed all the electricity regulators and discoms in the country to find ways to realise these revenues over a period of seven years starting from 2024 and it can be done by hiking power tariffs. If the state govt does not intervene and pay the amount, the discoms will have to hike tariffs to recover the amount. According to estimates, the discoms in the state need to raise electricity tariffs by at least 90 paise per unit from all consumers to recover the amount in seven years. Additionally, the discoms pay around Rs 5,000 crore interest on the Rs 50,000 crore liability. If the future interest amount is added, the additional tariffs can cross Re 1 a unit. The problem of the deferred revenues, called regulatory assets, is particularly severe in Rajasthan as its discoms account for over 25% of country's total regulatory assets. In fact, the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission, incorporated provisions on regulatory assets in its 2025 tariff regulations that are in line with the Supreme Court's decision. Manish Kumar Mahto of Centre for Energy, Environment and People, said, "Despite these stringent measures, the discoms did not outline any liquidation plans in their annual tariff petitions, as required under the regulations. This omission underscores gaps in the regulatory framework and RERC's limited ability to enforce compliance." Mahto said the apex court also capped annual revenue shortfall of discoms at 3% of the approved revenue requirement and limited regulatory asset creation to exceptional circumstances only. Mahto said that on top of concerns about high surcharges themselves, there are questions about how they will fit within tariff structures. "In their tariff petitions for FY26, the discoms have proposed that the combined Regulatory Asset Surcharge and Fuel and Power Purchase Adjustment Surcharge (FPPAS) be capped at Re 1 per unit. With base fuel surcharges for this year being charged at 28 paise per unit and actual fuel surcharges reaching as high as 56 paise per unit in last two years, there is little scope to recover even the initial 90 paise per unit regulatory asset surcharge required for regulatory asset liquidation," he added.

Hyderabad: The city is gearing up for a grand Ganesh Chaturthi, with over 1.4 lakh pandals set to come up this year. The Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi, now in its 46th year, has announced 'swadeshi' as the central theme of the celebrations. "Nearly Rs 1 lakh crore is spent annually on Ganesh Utsavs across the country. All the puja-related products should come from Goshalas and local manufacturers instead of imports," said R Shashidhar, general secretary of the Samithi and Vishwa Hindu Parishad national spokesperson. "Festivals like this must promote swadeshi and the spirit of Make in India." Along with swadeshi, the Samithi has added a patriotic dimension by dedicating this year's festivities to the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The celebrations will also highlight 'desh bhakti' and 'daiva bhakti', with a special focus on Operation Sindoor.

Banks widen home loan spreads to save margins
MUMBAI: Banks are increasing their spreads over the home loan rate in a bid to protect their margins. SBI and Union Bank of India have widened the spreads on their mortgages over the reference rate as policy rates fall. The repo rate has already been cut by 100 basis points this year and could drop further. Unlike in the past, when lower rates flowed mainly to new borrowers while existing customers paid more, the present situation is reversed. New borrowers are seeing higher costs even as banks are obliged by RBI rules to pass on cuts to their existing customers. This asymmetry stems from sticky funding costs. Deposit rates are harder to bring down, especially for state-owned lenders with a large base of small savers who rely on fixed deposits. Margins have come under pressure, forcing banks to increase their spreads selectively. SBI's new home loan rates now range from 7.5% to 8.7%, 25 basis points higher than before, with weaker borrowers bearing the brunt. Union Bank has raised its rate to 7.45%, and more public-sector lenders are likely to follow. The move marks a strategic shift. Over the past few years, state-owned banks seized market share by undercutting private rivals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo Between FY22 and FY25, SBI, Bank of Baroda and Punjab National Bank grew their mortgage books faster than ICICI, HDFC Bank or Axis. Public sector lenders used their scale and branch networks to push mortgages at razor-thin spreads, often treating them as a gateway to cross-sell other loans and acquire deposits. That strategy is looking less sustainable. With lending rates falling and deposit costs sticky, home loans have turned into a drag on returns. For SBI, India's largest mortgage lender with Rs 8 lakh crore of home loans, even small changes in spreads have a meaningful impact on margins. According to a private sector bank executive, it is impossible to earn decent return on asset on a 7.3% home loan rate. Private banks, by contrast, have been reluctant to match the aggressive pricing of their public-sector peers. PSU banks grew faster, with SBI at 14% and both BoB and PNB at 18%. But this rapid expansion has to now contend with the reality of squeezed net interest margins. Industry-wide, the picture is cooling. Home loan growth slowed to 9.6% in the year to June 2025, down from 36.3% a year earlier. The decision by SBI and Union Bank to raise loan rates signals a recognition that the mortgage boom cannot be sustained at the cost of profitability. With policy rates likely to fall further, banks appear to be resetting strategy: protecting margins first, growth second. If others follow, the home loan market could be entering a new phase-less about cheap credit, more about sustainable returns.
