SOURCED (secondary-primary hybrid) — DERC 'Electricity Tariff Schedule for BRPL, BYPL, TPDDL & NDMC' (base schedule, category 2.2 'Non-Domestic Above 3kVA'), https://www.derc.gov.in/sites/default/files/Tariff%20Schedule%202020-21.pdf. Delhi's slab/base-rate structure has not changed materially since; only the annual Power Purchase Adjustment Charge (PPAC, ~25-40% surcharge on energy charge) is revised each year and is NOT modelled here, so real commercial bills run meaningfully higher than this base rate.
