Bhowmik also said that Tripura’s power generation cost is lower than other states as the power generation dependent on hydro-projects.

It has been known from Finance Ministry that 80% of generated power in Tripura are sold outside.

Power Dept which has decided to hike electricity tariffs at 7.5% which will be used to kick of further developmental works, also is signaling how so far no funding is happening under the Modi Govt for state Tripura unlike the UPA era which helped each state via negotiation in Planning Commission.
