CM Saini: 800 MW Ultra Super Critical Thermal Power Unit To Be Set Up In Haryana

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that they will commission a new 800 MW Ultra Super Critical Thermal Power Unit at the Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant in Khedar, Hisar, with an investment of Rs 7,250 crore. This project aims to make the state self-reliant in power generation, he stated during the launch of the Additional Subsidy Scheme under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme’ at a state-level event in Ambala.

The Chief Minister also handed out certificates to beneficiaries of the scheme.

In a significant announcement, he declared the removal of the monthly minimum electricity charge. Henceforth, residents will be billed solely based on their electricity consumption, providing substantial relief to consumers.

Under the new scheme, poor families earning less than Rs 180,000 annually will receive a subsidy of Rs 60,000 from the Central government and Rs 50,000 from the state to install rooftop solar plants. Although the installation cost is Rs 110,000, consumers will not have to pay anything out of pocket. Families with an income between Rs 180,000 and Rs 3 lakh will receive a subsidy of Rs 60,000 from the Centre and Rs 20,000 from the state.

Chief Minister highlighted  PM Modi’s Commitment

The Chief Minister emphasized the significant progress in the country from 2014 to 2024 in areas such as roads, universities, medical colleges, medical universities, and infrastructure development. Haryana has also seen all-round development during this period under the leadership of former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. The state government has ensured college facilities for girls within a 20 km radius and is bearing the education costs for girls from families with incomes less than Rs 1,80,000.

Energy Minister Ranjit Singh

Speaking on this occasion, Energy Minister Ranjit Singh expressed that today marks a historic day for Ambala. In recent years, Haryana has made significant strides in the power sector. He highlighted that they have minimized line losses to the lowest levels and recognized all four power companies in Haryana as reliable across the country. Minister Ranjit Singh emphasized that the ‘Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme’ is PM Modi’s dream project, now overseen by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in his role as Union Energy Minister. We will proceed with full confidence to ensure the effective implementation of this scheme across the state, he added.
