Pandemic-hit industries get power tariff concession
The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC), which ordered revision of power tariff for all consumers on Monday, provided rebates to industries to help them recover from the pandemic.
“In order to enable micro and small scale industries certified by the Government of Karnataka to recover from the adverse effects of Covid-19, the Commission has decided to allow a rebate of 50 paise per unit in the monthly energy consumption for one year,” the KERC said.
The commission also extended concessions to seasonal industries like ice manufacturing units and cold storage units situated in the coastal belt of Karnataka (within a radius of 5 km from the sea) by offering a rebate of Re 1 per unit.
