New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal government had announced a few months back that the power subsidy from 1 October will be given only to those consumers who opt for it. For this the Delhi Government made many announcements regarding new ways of getting subsidy on electricity bills. But even after about more than 3 months, the government has not provided any definite system of option for consumers leaving them utterly confused. Many of the consumers even doubt the intention of the government to continue the power subsidy.
In May this year, the Delhi government had first announced its new policy regarding electricity subsidy. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal declared that after 1 October, 2022, subsidy on electricity will be given only to those who specifically give option for it. He also said that there are many people who can pay the electricity bill without subsidy and with this money we can develop the city, schools and hospitals.
