Uttar Pradesh First State to Avoid Power Tariff Hike for Sixth Year

Uttar Pradesh's electricity consumers won't see any price increase this year, making it the first state to avoid a hike for six years in a row.

The electricity regulatory commission rejected the power company's proposal to increase rates due to losses, citing a large surplus.

Noida consumers also get to keep their rates and discounts unchanged, thanks to the consumer council's efforts.
