In view of the Covid situation, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided not to increase the prices of electricity in the state. In a meeting with key officials, chief minister Yogi Adityanath directed them to ensure that there is no increase in electricity prices this year.
“The chief minister has given a general direction that the electricity rates will not be increased. The matter is with the regulator at present. Once the regulator decides on it, the government will take a view on it,” said a senior official of the government, who was present in the meeting.
