Bihar Electricity Update: 125 Units Free Power is Here

Published on

Big news for electricity consumers in Bihar. The state government is changing its smart prepaid meters. Now, your electricity won’t be cut until you’ve used 125 units. This new system starts on August 1st. This is a major relief for consumers, following Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s announcement.

Smart Prepaid Meters Get a Software Update

The software in smart prepaid meters has received an important update. Previously, power would cut off immediately when your balance ran out. Not anymore. Consumers can now use up to 125 units of electricity without interruption. This applies no matter how many days it takes to consume those units.

How the New System Works

For example, if you use 125 units of electricity in 10 days, billing from your meter balance will only begin on the 11th day. This 125-unit limit includes both energy charges and fixed charges. This change offers significant convenience to consumers.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Delivers on Promise

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced 125 units of free electricity earlier this month. This meter change is a direct result of that promise. It’s a big gift to the people of Bihar. This shows the government’s commitment to fulfilling its pledges.

Major Relief for Consumers

Before, smart prepaid meters would cut power quickly when the balance ran out. This caused problems, especially for those who recharged daily or weekly. Now, consumers can ensure their electricity supply isn’t interrupted, even if their meter balance is low. This is a truly customer-friendly move.

Economic Benefits and Stability

The Bihar government’s decision benefits electricity consumers in both rural and urban areas. It will not only provide them with financial relief but also bring stability to the power supply. This will greatly help daily life and small businesses. It’s a significant step toward making electricity services more accessible.

Improving Bihar’s Energy Sector

This initiative is a major improvement in Bihar’s energy sector. It will ensure people receive uninterrupted electricity. The government’s priority is to provide convenience to the public. This policy will contribute to the state’s development.

Benefits for Rural and Urban Areas

This change is for people living in both rural and urban areas. They won’t have to worry about power cuts anymore. This will help meet their daily needs. It will increase electricity availability.

Chief Minister’s Far-Sighted Decision

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s decision is far-sighted. It will also strengthen the state’s economy. Industries and businesses will have continuous power. This will contribute to Bihar’s overall development.

Easy Process for Consumers

This new system will be easy for consumers. They won’t have to worry about frequent recharges. They can use up to 125 units of electricity without concern. This is a huge relief.

This is proof of the government’s people-oriented policy. The government understands people’s needs. This step will improve people’s lives. It’s about making Bihar a better state.
