Power subsidy to continue: CM
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the relief being provided to the electricity consumers in the national Capital will be continued further. The CM’s statement came after the cost of electricity in Delhi has increased with hike in power purchase adjustment cost (PPAC), imposed by DISCOM on consumers, by 4 per cent from mid June.
“The State Government will continue its electricity subsidy scheme providing 200 units of free electricity to the households opting for it. The Government’s relief will continue. Come what may, the relief being given to the people of Delhi will not be affected,” he said.
Under the electricity subsidy, utilisation of up to 200 units of electricity remains free, while those utilising between 201 to 400 units of electricity receive approximately 50 per cent subsidy.
