The consumers in Delhi at present get 'zero' power bill up to 200 units of electricity and a subsidy of 800 on consuming 201 to 400 units per month.
"People have suggested that instead of providing subsidies to financially strong households, the money be used for schools and hospitals. Taking their demand into consideration, all consumers will be given a choice to opt out of the subsidy or continue getting free electricity from October 1. On the basis of the choices registered, we will provide free electricity to those families who wish to seek the benefit of the scheme," the CM said.
