I just received ours for this month and it's a real shocker - 1750 for pretty much the same amount of usage as the last couple of months. The increase is a Sensex-rivaling 22%. I'm preparing myself for more shocks over the next couple of months. Sheesh, I pay just a little more than that for way more usage back home in the U.S.

And what's with the entire bill being in Marathi?

Have you gotten the shock yet?

all Mumbaites jus wait for next bill.....furthur increase of 50% charge per unit approved today....it was pending becoz of election....

Plus if your usage increase some % more than your last year usage furthut u r penalised....

All this being done as ard 10k crore rupees pending from commercial usage by various factories in maharashtra especially by sugar mills by our heavyweight politician...who didnt allowed any electric unit to come up in maharashtra in 1980s-1990s....

Relaince,bses tata not doing anything to get that money..but if u dont pay for a single month your connection is gone plus..heavy penalised......we need to file a PIL i guess.....

I get around 700-850 bucks, even If I use Refrigerator, Motor Pump, Iron, AC, Washing machine, TV, PC and too long list..

I never got above 900 yet..
