In an effort to make state-run industrial parks attractive to investors, the West Bengal government has reduced power tariff to match it with the rate of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) in all such facilities.
The power tariff of West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company is higher by around Rs 3 per unit as compared to the DVC rate and this was a major concern for investors, planning to set up projects in the jurisdiction of the state government utility.
In areas where DVC also supplies power, we have matched the tariff of power supplied by WBSEDCL. All state government industrial parks, like the ones at Raghunathpur and Panagarh, will get the benefit as of now,
