Over 1.4 million households in the national capital, which consume 201 to 400 units of electricity every month, will get a maximum subsidy of Rs 800 on their monthly power bills from now on, top government officials said on Thursday.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced that residents who have a power consumption of up to 200 units, will get 100% subsidy on their electricity bills from August 1. Officials pointed out that will be the first time that the Delhi government will be covering up for the fixed charges and surcharges of households falling under this slab.
Under the restructured plan, the government has removed the 50% subsidy clause for those who consume more than 200 units and up to 400 units of electricity every month and has instead made it flexible.
