Changes to Chhattisgarh’s Half Electricity Bill Scheme, Ensuring Benefits for Lower Consumption Households

The Chhattisgarh government has made adjustments to the Half Electricity Bill scheme, specifically modifying the discount parameters. The new guidelines offer a 50% discount on up to 100 units of monthly electricity consumption, replacing the previous provision of discounts on up to 400 units. According to the government, about 70% of the state’s domestic consumers, which equates to approximately 31 lakh families out of a total of 45 lakh, consume less than 100 units per month.
