Power Minister asks DVC to explore equity market route to raise funds for growth
During the meeting held at the DVC headquarters, the Minister also discussed the operational challenges and financial issues faced by the corporation.
Harbhajan Singh said the Bhagwant Mann led government has fulfilled the promise of zero electricity bill in the very first year of their tenure. He said free 600 units of electricity bimonthly (300 units of electricity monthly) has been granted for all domestic consumers with annual subsidy benefit of Rs 5,629 crore.
Singh said previous state governments lured the farmers with the free power to farmers for tubewells but the farmers were never given uninterrupted power supply due to which they had to face a lot of problems for irrigation.
