President Muizzu keeps promise, electricity bills to be capped at MVR 400 during Ramadan
State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) announced special meter readings on Monday and Tuesday ahead of Ramadan to implement President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's pledge that domestic electricity bills during Ramadan will not exceed MVR 400, with any balance covered as a government-funded discount. The cap was first unveiled by the President three months ago at a PNC rally, building on last year's Ramadan electricity and water subsidies totalling approximately MVR 140 million.
