Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday gave a New Year's gift to Delhiites by slashing the power tariffs of 28 lakh households by 50 per cent, partially meeting the poll promise of his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).The monthly electricity bills of households which use up to 400 units may be reduced by half from January to March, as the government will pay half their bills. However, households consuming more than 400 units per month will have to pay the entire bill amount.
After the government’s subsidy, the new rates will be about
Rs 1.95 per unit, against the current Rs 3.90 per unit for the slab of 0-200 units.
For a slab of 201-400 units, the rates will be Rs 2.90 per unit, against the current rate of Rs 5.50 per unit.
About six lakh households will not benefit from the populist move.
