Kamalakannan told the Assembly on Friday. The government says failure to revise the power tariff regularly has proved to be a drain on its resources. The consumers here paid only ?109 for the first 100 units after the government decided to subsidise power consumption up to 100 units. The power tariff had not been changed between 2002 and 2010. For example, the Kerala government charged ?345 for the first 100 units..
