The Government of India’s decision to impose a nationwide lockdown from March 23, 2020, to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, has had a big impact on the power sector. In Punjab, like other states, the lockdown has led to the lowering of power demand, with the demand from the industrial category dwindling to almost zero. Considering the unprecedented situation, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) in a letter to developers has requested them to provide a 10% discount on the power tariff to be billed from July 01, 2020.
