Aurangabad: The Maharashtra government has constituted a committee to study ways to bring down electricity tariff for industries, member of Legislative Council Ambadas Danve said. The committee will submit its report in a couple of months and it will turn out to be positive, he said, addressing the media on Wednesday.
