The commission clarified that if this is not implemented immediately, the cost difference will accumulate until next year's true-up, which could affect the company's financial situation and also impact the quality of the electricity supply. 

The commission has directed UPCL to upload the details of the next month's adjustment for consumers by the 28th of the month, so that people can plan their monthly budgets.
