Govt to refund Escoms every month: K J George

To ensure that Escoms are not financially burdened while implementing ‘Gruha Jyothi’, the government will transfer funds for it to Escoms every month, Energy Minister K J George has said.

“The energy department will only implement the scheme and we will not have to bear the financial burden. As is the case with many other schemes that provide subsidies to various categories of consumers, the government will reimburse Escoms even for Gruha Jyothi,” said George.

Senior Bescom officials said that they are expecting the government to refund them the 30th of every month.
