Punjab cabinet approves policy of 600 units of free power

The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab cabinet on Wednesday gave final approval for the policy governing the decision to provide 600 units of free power to every household per billing cycle in the state with effect from July 1, 2022.

A spokesman of the chief minister’s office said all domestic consumers in the state will be eligible to get zero bills if their consumption is up to 600 units in every billing cycle.

This will give a reprieve to domestic consumers who have had to shell out huge amounts every month as power tariff, he said.
