After following a prescribed procedure by the hotelier, Directorate of Tourism (DoT), Ministry of Tourism, Government of Maharashtra after inspection grants certificate, thus such a hotel is included and granted ‘industrial status’. Thereby this hotel is qualified to be billed for electricity consumption with industrial tariff, likewise advantages in property tax and water charges.

Jasbir Singh (Micky) Arora requested that as now a few hotels have received a certificate of ‘Industrial Status’, MSEDCL may please grant us industrial tariff from April 2021. Hoteliers have suffered very badly due to the pandemic and we are happy the State Government has favoured us to heal to some extent; but this can only happen when we start getting the benefits.
Lokesh Chandra, IAS – CMD, MSEDCL assured that he’ll go through the subject and if everything is lawfully aligned the demand of the Hoteliers will be fulfilled. He further requested that all hoteliers and industrialists pay the electricity bill on time so that the financial change progresses with positivity.
