New Delhi: Power discom Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam has slashed electricity tariffs as the CM had announced earlier this month. The new rates come into effect from October 1.According to the revised rates, consumers using up to 50 units per month will be charged at Rs 2 per unit compared with Rs 2.70 per unit levied now. Similarly, residents who restrict their power consumption within 200 units per month will be billed at a rate of Rs 2.50 per unit instead of Rs 4.50 per unit earlier.
Power consumption in the 200-250 and 250-500 units ranges will be charged at Rs 5.25 and Rs 6.30, respectively. “The rate changes will be effective from October this year and they will be applicable on the bills generated thereafter,” said a senior discom official.
However, the reduced tariff is only applicable for those households where the power consumption is below 500 units per month. If the consumption exceeds the limit, the existing rate will continue which is Rs 4.50 per unit for the first 200 units.
