People use various electrical appliances in their homes, which leads to huge electricity bills. However, many state governments in India have announced schemes to provide free electricity to their citizens. Although electricity may not be completely free in these states, there is a provision for a certain amount of free units. Let us see which states provide how much free electricity.
Free electricity facility in Delhi:
The Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi has been providing free electricity to residents for a long time. Under this scheme, the government provides 200 units of electricity free of cost. Beyond this limit consumers will have to pay half the regular rates. About 58 lakh families of Delhi benefit from this initiative.
Free electricity increased in Jharkhand:
After the resignation of Hemant Soren, Champai Soren has been appointed as the new Chief Minister of Jharkhand. Champai Soren has recently announced a new scheme for free electricity in the state.

Free electricity in Rajasthan:
In Rajasthan, where the BJP recently formed the new government by appointing Bhajan Lal Sharma as chief minister, a budget was presented that included an announcement of providing free electricity to residents. According to this scheme, 300 units of free electricity will be given every month to 5 lakh families of the state.
