So, it has intimated the government that it will purchase power from Open Access System. Last to lose it was decided to collect 7 per unit by creating a separate category. But fearing losing a potential customer in HMRL, Government decided to decrease the price.
Now, each unit power supplied to Hyderabad Metro Rail Project will just cost 3.95 Rupees per unit. The 30-km stretch from Nagole to Miyapur is likely to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 28th.
