The Tripura state government announced it will shoulder the entire cost of the upcoming power tariff hike, providing full relief to consumers, according to Minister Ratan Lal Nath.
Minister Ratan Lal Nath, Tripura's electricity minister, announced that the state government will bear 100% of the additional cost arising from the scheduled increase in electricity tariffs.
The decision ensures that households and businesses across Tripura will not experience any rise in their electricity bills despite the tariff hike imposed by the power board.
Officials said the measure is aimed at cushioning consumers against soaring energy costs and maintaining the affordability of electricity in the state.
The extra expense will be funded from the state budget, allowing the power distribution company to continue supply without adjusting consumer rates.
Consumer groups welcomed the relief, while financial analysts noted that the commitment will add to Tripura's fiscal obligations.
