The revised tariff policy has been cleared by a group of ministers and it is likely to be implemented within a month, Power Minister R K Singh said on Friday.
The policy provides for steps like penalty for unscheduled power cuts by distribution companies.
“The tariff policy which had been sent to Union Cabinet, was referred to an informal group of ministers (GoM). That GoM has cleared it. So we propose to take it to the next Cabinet (meeting)….and hopefully it should be there within a month,” Singh said.
He was speaking at a digital interaction with CEOs from the power and renewable energy sectors, under the CII’s Energizing India Series.
