The fixed electricity charge for agriculture use in Delhi was Rs 125 per kilowatt per month as per the tariff schedule.
The farmers of the national capital were not happy with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party on the issue of high electricity charges.
"If a farmer has an electricity metre of 10 kilowatts to run a tubewell, he has to pay a minimum of Rs 1,250 per month. The charge increase with the increase in the kilowatt. This is excluding the charges we have to pay for usage," a farmer told IANS.
At times, the farmers had to pay over Rs 4,000 per month for the electricity which was increasing the overall cost of production.
