A day after chief minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that electricity will be completely free for residents who consume up to 200 units of power every month, the government’s power department Friday wrote to all distribution companies (discoms), seeking individual proposals to go ahead with the scheme.
The power department said it has given a deadline of Monday to all discoms to submit their reports. With approximately 4.9 million domestic consumers, power in Delhi is supplied by BSES Rajdhani Power Limited, BSES Yamuna Power Limited, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) and the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
“We have asked all four discoms in the city to provide details on households consuming 0-200 units and 201-400 units.
