Delhi government’s free electricity scheme is not available by default anymore. After the recently announced changes, consumers will have to apply on their own to reap the benefits of Delhi power subsidy. While the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has announced many ways to apply for this electricity subsidy, consumers can opt for any way.
If one wants to avail the subsidy facility, they need to apply before the month ends. For example, if you want the subsidy to start from next month, you need to submit your application before October 30, 2022.
Here is a look at the steps to apply for power subsidy in Delhi:
