Delhi govt’s new electricity subsidy scheme kicks off from today
The Delhi government’s new electricity scheme, under which only those consumers who opt for the subsidy will receive it, came into effect from Saturday.
According to officials, 25.63 lakh consumers have so far applied for the power subsidy, after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced last month that people can give a missed call or send a WhatsApp message on 7011311111 to opt for the subsidy.
The domestic power consumers in the city eligible for the subsidy will not get it by default from October 1. Kejriwal had said many people want to opt out of the subsidy scheme and those who do not require it should not get it.
