‘Favour to pvt firms, no zero bill provision’

RESPONDING to the allegations made by the AAP leaders over L-G VK Saxena stalling the solar policy, official sources at Raj Niwas said that the city government is misleading the public. Officials said that the government's claims on the solar policy being stalled are misleading because the L-G has not stopped the policy.

They said that the policy lacks provisions to reduce electricity bills to zero and instead includes a provision that favours private power companies, and the L-G has sought clarification that whether the policy aligns with the capital subsidy from the Centre.

"As is their habit, the Delhi government is using lies to mislead the people. L-G has not stalled the policy. The policy does not contain any provision which will lead to consumers getting zero power bills.
