Chhattisgarh electricity tariff revised: Domestic rates up by 20 paise; Congress slams ‘atrocity on public’

Chhattisgarh has announced new electricity tariffs for 2025-26, effective July 1, 2025, increasing domestic rates by Rs 0.10-0.20 per unit, impacting 60 lakh consumers. The state offers rebates for mobile towers in LWE-affected areas and hospitals in rural regions. The Congress party criticizes the hike, citing frequent outages and increased financial burden on citizens, following an earlier 11% increase.
