Gruha Jyothi: 200 units of free electricity every month to every household
“To provide 200 units of free electricity to every house - “GRUHA JYOTHI””
VAADA POORAKept
The verdict
Gruha Jyothi was implemented from 2023 for domestic connections, but each household's free limit is its 2022-23 average use plus 10%, and homes averaging over 200 units are excluded, so not every house gets 200 free units. The 2026-27 budget allocates Rs 10,578 crore to it.
