In its petition, Tangedco had sought to fix the additional surcharge at ₹0.85 per unit
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) said that open access consumers (who buy power directly from third parties without depending on State utility) have to pay an additional surcharge of ₹0.70 per unit to Tangedco from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
The rate of additional surcharge is similar to what was determined for the earlier six month period from April 16, 2021 to September 30, 2021. In its petition, Tangedco had sought to fix the additional surcharge at ₹0.85 per unit.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
