May 5, 2025 (OT Webdesk) – Uttarakhand residents can expect lower electricity bills this May, thanks to a government decision to reduce power costs. The relief comes as part of a broader effort to manage electricity procurement pricing for the 2024-25 financial year.
With an allocated budget of ₹101 crore for this subsidy, consumers will see a noticeable decrease in their electricity expenses compared to previous months.
This initiative continues the government’s trend of offering electricity bill relief in previous months.
Officials have confirmed that the savings result from adjustments in electricity purchase costs, ensuring that households and businesses benefit from lower rates.
This move is expected to ease financial burdens, particularly as energy consumption rises in the summer months.
Residents have welcomed the announcement, expressing gratitude for the government’s proactive measures in addressing power costs.
“This comes as a huge relief, especially given the high expenses during peak summer,” said a local consumer.
As the government remains committed to supporting its citizens, further steps may be taken to optimise energy consumption while maintaining affordable pricing.
