What happened
Karnataka is implementing a Fuel Purchase Price Cost Adjustment (FPPCA) for electricity consumers in Bengaluru. This charge is due to the state having to purchase power from the open market at higher prices during a surge in demand in September 2026. The adjustment is expected to be around 0.5 paise per unit for the period of September to November.

Why it matters
The adjustment allows Karnataka to recover higher power procurement costs from consumers. While the FPPCA is intended to cover temporary costs rather than introduce a permanent revision to the regular tariff, it directly impacts consumer electricity bills.
