Free electricity schemes will affect India's bid to save energy: Power ministry

Bengaluru, Jan 30 (UNI) Union Power Secretary Alok Kumar on Monday said free electricity promised by some political parties will affect India's bid to conserve and save energy.
He also said that the state governments are free to give subsidies, but they should also consider taking up responsibility to ensure energy efficiency.
"Conceptually, free power has one disadvantage. It takes away all the incentives for energy conservation. If the consumer is getting free power, they will lose all the incentives to save energy," he told reporters replying to an UNI query at a press conference here.
