Breaking: New power tariff order issued, no hike in power rates in Punjab, some relief to domestic consumers
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 28, 2025 – In a major relief for electricity consumers in Punjab, the Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC) has announced a reduction in power tariffs while addressing a petition by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
This move is being seen as a significant gift from the Bhagwant Mann-led government to the people of Punjab.
While domestic consumers with a load of up to 7 kW already receive free electricity for up to 300 units, the latest tariff revision will further ease their financial burden. As per the new rates:
- Consumers with a load of up to 2 kW will now pay ₹1,629 for 300 units, down from ₹1,781.
- Consumers with a load between 2 kW and 7 kW will see their bill drop from ₹1,806 to ₹1,716 for 300 units.
- Consumers with a load between 7 kW and 20 kW will now pay ₹1,932 instead of ₹1,964.
-
Additionally, the three-tier slab system has been restructured into just two slabs, making electricity bills more streamlined and consumer-friendly.This decision is expected to provide direct financial relief to thousands of households across Punjab while ensuring affordability and efficiency in power consumption.
