The Haryana Government is preparing a policy for the power sector in the State, in which besides use of solar power, special provisions will be made for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Seaking at Gurgaon on Friday, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal said that industries should flourish and such arrangements are being made that shortage of electricity did not pose any hindrance in the way of their progress.
The Chief Minister said that when BJP came to power in the State, the Power Companies were in loss of Rs27000 crore and now the losses are to the tune of Rs30,000 crore.
He said the Government is working on the ways to reduce losses of power utility companies and at the same time, provide reliable power supply to consumers, for which a power policy is under preparation.
He added that power is such a sector where it is purchased at different rates from different places and also supplied at different rates to various categories, so there is variation in rates.
