The government is planning to introduce a new electricity tariff for industries aimed at encouraging greater use of the national grid, sources in the Power Division said.
Under the proposed policy, industrial consumers using less electricity may face heavier fixed charges, while those consuming more power could receive discounts through cheaper per-unit rates.
According to sources, the government is considering a new tariff structure for industrial consumers that would place higher fixed charges on industries with low electricity consumption.
At the same time, industries that use more electricity from the national grid may be offered cheaper power per unit.
Officials say the policy is designed to encourage industrial units to rely more on grid electricity instead of shifting away from the system.
