New Delhi: In the midst of Covid-19 crisis, new electricity rates have been announced in Delhi. Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission DERC is going to announce new tariff rates for the year 2020-21. The new rates will be applicable on 1 September next month. The DERC announced on Friday that in view of the pandemic of the Covid-19 there is no increase in electricity rates for domestic consumers.

Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission DERC said that this year there will be ni increase in the electricity rates in Delhi. But the pension trust surcharge has been increased. The surcharge has been increased from 3.80% to 5%. Consumers' bills are going to be slightly higher than before. However, for the purpose of promoting mushroom cultivation, the Commission has reduced the rate of electricity in the mushroom farming category from Rs 6.50 / kWh to Rs 3.50 / kWh.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted congratulating the people of Delhi on not increasing the electricity rates. On the one hand, where electricity rates are increasing year after year in the whole country, for the sixth consecutive year in Delhi, electricity rates were not increased and in some areas, rates were also reduced. It is historical. This is happening because you formed an honest government in Delhi.

दिल्ली की जनता को बधाई।

एक तरफ़ जहां पूरे देश में साल दर साल बिजली की दरें बढ़ रहीं हैं, दिल्ली में लगातार छट्ठे साल बिजली के दर नहीं बढ़ने दिए और कुछ क्षेत्र में दर कम भी किए।

ये एतिहासिक है। ये इसलिए हो रहा है क्योंकि आपने दिल्ली में एक ईमानदार सरकार बनाई।
