The Delhi government on Monday said it will continue to subsidise the power bills of domestic consumers who use up to 400 units, irrespective of their sanctioned load on electricity metres.
According to the state’s power subsidy scheme, domestic consumers who use up to 200 units of electricity get their bills waived off, while those who consume 201-400 units get a 50% discount. Consumers have to opt in for the scheme once a year.
Power minister Atishi in an informal briefing on Monday said around 95% of the 4.7 million consumers who received subsidies under the default provision that ended on October 2022, have opted in for the subsidy in the current fiscal, and the scheme will restart in April.
