Electricity Bill Reduced: Good news! Electricity bill will be reduced by 26%, government made a big announcement

Electricity Bill Reduced: On one hand, electricity rates are being increased in some states. On the other hand, the Maharashtra government is working on reducing the electricity bills. The CM of Maharashtra has posted on X regarding this.

Electricity Bill Reduced: There is great news for the people living in Maharashtra. The state’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said late on Wednesday that electricity prices will be reduced by 26 percent in the next five years. There will be a 10 percent reduction in the first year, which is the first time in the history of the state. Fadnavis said, ‘For the first time in the history of the state, electricity prices will be reduced by 10% and in five years there will be a 26% reduction.’ He thanked the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), which approved the petition of Mahavitaran.

Demand for reduction in prices from Mahavitaran

He wrote in his X post that earlier Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) used to receive petitions for increasing electricity prices by 10%. But this time Mahavitaran demanded reduction in prices, which was accepted. This reduction will be for all three types of customers – domestic, industrial and commercial. Fadnavis said that 70% of the people, who use less than 100 units of electricity, will get a full discount of 10% in the first year. This will provide relief to most of the households.

Scheme for farmers too

The Chief Minister said that work is going on rapidly on ‘Mukhyamantri Solar Krishi Vahini Yojana 2.0’. This will provide reliable electricity supply to the farmers during the day. Also, by focusing on green energy, the cost of purchasing electricity will also be reduced. Fadnavis said that in the coming time, the cost of electricity will be further reduced by the use of solar energy and green energy. This decision is a big relief for the people of Maharashtra and is an important step towards providing cheap electricity to the state.

How much will be the benefit

The government has claimed that during the next five years, the price of electricity in the state will be reduced by 26 percent. However, it has not been informed yet whether this reduction will be done by giving subsidy like Delhi or the government will reduce the per unit rate of electricity. According to one calculation, you can roughly estimate that if your current bill is Rs 1,000 per month, then after this change, it will be reduced by 26 percent, i.e., to Rs 740.
