By Sharat Kumar: The Rajasthan government has once again increased the electricity rate in the state to 45 paise per unit amidst the ‘Mehangai Rahat Camp.’ It was hiked by 30 paise per unit in March.
Electricity has become expensive by 75 paise per unit in one month, which means consumers will have to pay Rs 1000 to 2000 more.
The Rajasthan government said that the fixed surcharge on the electricity bill has been increased due to the high cost of coal and coal cleaning.
Electricity rates in Rajasthan are already one of the highest in the country.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday inaugurated ‘Mehangai Rahat Camp’ in Jaipur, aiming to provide the people of the state a relief from inflation.
“Rajasthan is the first state to present an agriculture budget. Farmers are getting 2000 units of free electricity today,” said Ashok Gehlot.
The camp will be held in parts of the state till June 30, months ahead of the Rajasthan Assembly polls.
