The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister has directed state officials to supply electricity at subsidised rates to areas outside aquaculture zones, according to a statement released by the government.
The move targets non-aquaculture regions, which include industrial parks, residential colonies and commercial hubs that have traditionally faced higher tariff rates.
By offering lower rates, the government aims to encourage industrial growth and improve power access for households, potentially boosting the state’s economic development.
Implementation will be overseen by the state’s electricity board, which will adjust tariff structures and monitor compliance over the coming months.
