Govt Mulls Increasing Rates For Homes, Farms, Industries

Gandhinagar: A major proposal is pending in Gujarat’s top corridors of power. It recommends a sharp increase of water rates for all three categories of consumers – irrigation, domestic and industry. This is aimed at meeting operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, which Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNNL) would need to bear, to keep the Narmada project going.
