Power Tariff Subsidy Scheme

Why in News

• Recently, Haryana Government has notified the "Power Tariff Subsidy Scheme" with an objective to provide affordable power supply to the Micro & Small Enterprises.
  
  • The scheme would be applicable with effect from January 1, 2021.

Key Points

• The 'Power Tariff Subsidy' scheme will be implemented under the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy 2020. Under the scheme, small industries will be provided affordable power supply at Rs 2 per unit.
• All existing and new micro and small industrial enterprises situated in C and D category blocks of the state, having a connected load of 40 kW in D category blocks and 30 kW in C category blocks or less, would get the benefit of the scheme.
• The enterprises would not be required to apply for availing of the benefit. The Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN/DHBVN) will provide this benefit by deducting the subsidy amount in the electricity bills.
