In a major relief to farmers, the Rajasthan government today announced it would bear the financial burden of the hike in power tariff for farmers which will cost the exchequer Rs 500 crore.
The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission had revised the power tariff in various consumer categories from September 1 last year which had created resentment among the farmers who recently threatened a mass protest during the ensuing budget session of the assembly.
Energy Minister Pushpendra Singh announced the rollback of the hike for the farmers and said that the government will bear the gap as increased subsidy for agriculture connections.
