Haryana to make power cheaper

Special Correspondent

CHANDIGARH: Nearly 45 lakh electricity consumers of Haryana will get power at cheaper rates now with Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) having decided to lower the fuel surcharge from July 1.

UHBVN Managing Director Arun Kumar said here on Wednesday that domestic category consumers would get a relief ranging from four paisa to 13 paisa per unit depending on the consumption of electricity units.

The first 40 units would be charged at the rate of 15 paisa instead of 19 paisa per unit. Those with consumption between 41 and 300 units would have to pay 29 paisa instead of 39 paisa per unit.

More than 300 units would be charged at the rate of 37 paisa instead of the existing 50 paisa per unit.

The fuel surcharge on non-domestic supply would be 31 paisa per unit as against 49 paisa at present. The high-tension industrial consumers, street lighting supply and bulk supply category consumers would have to pay 31 paisa per unit instead of existing 48 paisa. Low-tension industrial consumers would pay 32 paisa per unit as against 50 paisa per unit earlier.

Mr. Kumar said the bills for July would be sent in August and September as per monthly/bi-monthly schedule and the consumers would see the effect of revised fuel surcharge in those bills.
