Delhi Electricity Price Hike: After about 27 years, the Bharatiya Janata Party has returned to power in Delhi. The Bharatiya Janata Party had promised free electricity to the people of Delhi before the elections. The people of Delhi are still waiting for the fulfillment of this promise. Before this, the BJP government is preparing to give a shock of expensive electricity to the people of Delhi. Delhi's Power Minister Ashish Sood has indicated this.

Delhi's Power Minister Ashish Sood has said that the debt of Rs 27 thousand crore left by the Aam Aadmi Party government on the power distribution companies through DERC (Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission) is still pending. The BJP government is preparing to repay this debt with the money of the public. In such a situation, it is possible that the electricity bill of the public may increase in the coming days.

Who supplies electricity in Delhi?

Let us tell you, the responsibility of electricity distribution in Delhi lies with 4 electricity companies. BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) This electricity company looks after the electricity supply in South and West Delhi. BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) This company supplies electricity in East and Central Delhi. Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) supplies electricity in Outer and North Delhi. New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) looks after the electricity supply in the posh areas of Delhi.

How expensive is electricity now

In Delhi, the electricity prices were increased in July last year. For BRPL consumers, the cost per unit is Rs 4.07 for 0-200 units, Rs 6.11 for 201-400 units, and Rs 10.47 per unit for more than 1200 units. Similarly, BYPL consumers have to pay Rs 4.12 for 0-200 units, Rs 6.18 for 201-400 units, and Rs 11 per unit for more than 1200 units. Similarly, electricity rates for TPDDL and NDMC consumers were also increased.

300 units of free electricity were promised

Let us tell you, that the Bharatiya Janata Party had promised 300 units of free electricity in the Delhi elections. Earlier, the Aam Aadmi Party government was giving 200 units of free electricity to the people of Delhi. More than a month has passed since the BJP government was formed in Delhi, but the people have not started getting 300 units of free electricity yet. Meanwhile, the news of expensive electricity is going to increase tension. However, the Delhi government has said that it is committed to providing cheap electricity to the people.
