The Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) has decided to hike the per unit rate of electricity for next three months from December to February next year.

The power distribution company has decided to hike in power tariff to 79 paise per unit from the current 30 paise per unit.

This was announced by the APDCL through a notice on Twitter today.
