Bihar Free Electricity: Now, people will get 125 units of free electricity in Bihar. But in these states of the country, more free electricity is being given. Let us tell you which states are included in this list.

Assembly elections are to be held in Bihar this year, and before that the government is continuously giving gifts one after the other to the people of the state. In this episode, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has taken a big decision to reduce the electricity bill of Biharis. He has announced to give 125 units of free electricity to the people of the state every month. That is, now you will not have to pay the bill if you spend electricity up to the fixed limit.

This will provide relief to about 1.67 crore consumers of the state. But let us tell you that Bihar is not at the forefront in this matter. There are also some states of the country where more free electricity is being given than this. Let us tell you in which states people are getting the most benefit of free electricity.

These states are giving more free electricity than Bihar

Before the assembly elections in Bihar, Biharis are getting a lot of government gifts. The Bihar government has now announced to give 125 units of free electricity. But let us tell you that before Bihar, many states are giving even more free electricity. Punjab is at the forefront in this matter where people get up to 300 units of free electricity every month.

After this comes Karnataka where 200 units of electricity are being given free every month. On the other hand, in Delhi also, domestic consumers are getting the benefit of free electricity up to 200 units every month and even after 200 units, they get the benefit of subsidy. Bihar is still behind in comparison to these states, but this gift received before the elections has definitely given some relief to the people of Bihar.

Bihar residents will get benefit from August

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has made it clear that 1.67 crore people of the state will now get 125 units of free electricity instead of 100. He announced through an X post that this decision will be implemented from August 1, 2025. That is, the burden of electricity will be reduced a bit from August. The government's free electricity scheme is also being considered very important from the electoral point of view. Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party also won the hearts of Delhiites with the free electricity scheme. Now it remains to be seen whether this decision of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar wins the hearts of the people of Bihar or not.
