Even a unit goes upto 1000/- in fiture prepare to pay .

If a unit goes up to 1000 Rs, We would switch to stand alone solar power systems. With the current high interest rates, it is not favorable to invest in home solar power systems.

At least now people should start paying the right cost for the electricity that they consume. Until this culture of giving freebies and subsidiaries is stopped people would keep on expecting more and more for free and take no responsibility for their consumption.

It is so easy to the govt to increase electricity fuel water gas by over hundreds of rupees by gazette. But just 10 Rs. on an egg is a big issue. This is because of the jam in importing eggs even if local producers ruined.
