The power subsidy is here to stay. In a move that brings big relief to families, farmers, and small businesses, Power Minister Ashish Sood confirmed that the current subsidy scheme will continue. This clears up recent rumors about a possible end to the subsidy program.
For many people, the subsidy is more than just savings on a bill—it’s the reason they can afford electricity at all. From lighting homes to running small shops, the power subsidy plays a vital role in daily life.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you already receive the power subsidy, there’s no need to worry. Nothing is changing. You don’t have to reapply or submit new documents. The support will continue as before for:
- Lower-income families
- Farmers and agricultural users
- Small business owners
This decision ensures that essential services stay affordable. For households on tight budgets, even a small cut in the power bill can free up money for food, education, or healthcare.
The government’s announcement directly addresses public concern. Rumors had been spreading online, causing panic among subsidy recipients. But now, things are clear: the power subsidy stays.
CNG Auto Safety: No Ban, No Worries
Alongside the subsidy update, the government also addressed fears about CNG-operated auto-rickshaws. There were whispers that these vehicles might be banned due to safety concerns. But officials shut down that idea quickly.
CNG autos, they explained, follow strict safety rules. They go through regular inspections. The gas cylinders are made using certified methods. And drivers are trained to use them properly.
These autos are key to transport in cities like Delhi. They are cheaper to run and cleaner for the air. The government says they are safe—and that CNG remains part of India’s clean energy push.
Why This Matters
Let’s say you live in a crowded city. You rely on CNG autos to get around. Or maybe you drive one to earn a living. Either way, this news brings relief.
For the environment, too, CNG vehicles reduce air pollution compared to diesel or petrol. The government wants to keep pushing for cleaner transport, and CNG fits that plan.

A Win for Common People
When we talk about the power subsidy, we’re really talking about fairness. It’s about making sure every family has access to electricity, no matter how much they earn. It’s about giving farmers the power they need to grow food. And it’s about keeping small shops and businesses running.
The same goes for CNG autos. They help people earn a living. They help commuters travel cheaply. And they help keep the air a little bit cleaner.
By keeping the power subsidy and supporting CNG transport, the government is standing with the people. It’s a balanced approach—supporting both affordability and sustainability.
