The Government of Punjab, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, has made a significant contribution to the betterment of the people of the state by offering 300 units of free electricity.
The CM stated that the decision to provide 300 units of free electricity each month was made after thorough deliberation.
Further, efforts are underway to enhance the infrastructure of the Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL). The state government has enhanced the transmission capacity to facilitate the provision of 300 units of free electricity each month. Previously, the state's transmission capacity stood at 7,100 MW, but it has now been raised to 9,800 MW.
Quality of Life Improves in Punjab
Providing 300 units of electricity per month for free by the Government of Punjab has relieved people, who were previously afraid to consume electricity due to expensive rates. CM Mann says that the increased power capacity can be met only when the transmission capacity is increased, which the Punjab Government has also worked on.
