People Can Choose Their Power Supplier With This New Scheme In Budget | Read
People will have the option of changing their power supplier and more than one distribution company can operate in any area under a new scheme in Budget 2021. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday announced a New Power Distribution Sector Scheme to allow more than one power distribution company to provide services to consumers in a single area. Currently, only one power distribution company or Discom can operate in a given area. But now consumers can enjoy portability. Power Minister RK Singh told NDTV in an interview that just like in the telecom sector, power consumers can pick their electricity supplier.
