The Delhi government on Wednesday announced a Rs 105 per KW monthly subsidy to agricultural consumers on fixed charges of electricity connections with effect from April 1, 2018.
The electricity subsidy is expected to benefit, at least, 11,000 consumers and a budgetary outlay of Rs 7.50 crore has been made for its retrospective implementation.
The move in line with the Aam Aadmi Party’s “subsidy-oriented” governance is significant coming ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections and the assembly polls next year.
