Budget 2025-26 was presented in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, in which many important announcements were made. Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Diya Kumari announced to give 150 units of free electricity per month to the low-income group families under the Chief Minister Free Electricity Scheme.
