The Haryana Government has notified the ‘power tariff subsidy’ scheme under the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy 2020 with the view to ensure affordable power supply to enterprises located in the state.

An official spokesperson said the scheme would be applicable with effect from January 1, 2021. He added that all existing and new enterprises situated in C and D category blocks of the state, having connected load of 40 kW in D category blocks and 30 kW in C category blocks or less, would get the benefit of the scheme.
