Demanding reduction in electricity charges, a BJP MP in Rajya Sabha on Friday said high bills have resulted in closure of many thermal power projects including in Nellore and Odisha.
Raising the issue during Zero hour, TG Venkatesh (BJP) said more than Rs 1 lakh crore has been invested in these projects.
“Many coal power projects in India are closed because of very high billing charges by the electricity board. Consumers are not able to buy this power. Mainly affected thermal power projects are in Nellore and Odisha. More than Rs one lakh crore have been invested in these projects,” Venkatesh said.
