Chhattisgarh Revises Half Electricity Bill Scheme with Continued Benefits for Vulnerable Consumers

Chhattisgarh’s government has altered its Half Electricity Bill scheme, changing the structure of the discounts provided. Previously offering concessions on up to 400 units, the scheme will now apply a 50% rebate to consumption up to 100 units each month. The state government explained that roughly 70% of the state’s 4.5 million households, which is about 31 lakh families, use less than 100 units of electricity monthly.
