CM to take a call on 200 units free power on Feb 22

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy-led Congress government will deploy safety mechanisms to ensure that financial sops, including free power up to 200 units and Rythu Bandhu, are not misused or overused, and as a result cause loss to the exchequer. A high-level meeting to be held by the Chief Minister on Thursday will take a call on the free power supply to domestic users with less than 200 units consumption every month and supply of gas cylinders at Rs 500. In Punjab, the free power would be extended up to 200 units without any restrictions, while the Karnataka model will come with strings attached. For instance, if the average monthly use of a consumer is 100 units last year, he or she could be supplied free power up to 125 units and additional units can be charged if the consumption crosses 125.
